minus-square blindsight ( @blindsight@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink4•7 months agoYeah, exactly. 10MM is peanuts to huge tech companies. It’s not reasonable to split up services in a way that would still be profitable. The Fediverse would likely be exempt, but any social media with advertising and any scale at all will hit 10MM revenue pretty quickly.
