Big Tech’s Dominance Depends on Our Laziness

The dominance of Big Tech is closely tied to user convenience, as highlighted in a recent Bloomberg Technology article. Companies like Facebook and Amazon have created ecosystems that discourage users from exploring alternatives. This trend is echoed in the multimillion-dollar efforts to innovate in mobile voting, where ease of use is paramount. Additionally, recent developments in WhatsApp allowing users to unify their Facebook and Instagram handles further illustrate how these platforms aim to maintain user engagement by minimizing friction in their services.
