Never show people they can live without you
Quote
You don't ever want to show people that they can live without you. That's not a good decision for somebody who is in the market position of dominance that they are.

Summary
When Facebook blocked news in Australia, Dave called it a terrible mistake for a dominant company. People simply went back to old habits, like setting their browser homepage to a newspaper. He hasn't logged into Facebook in over a year and life is fine; what happens on social media isn't reality.

I've got a Facebook account. I haven't logged into it in probably over a year. And you know what, it's just fine. Life is fine. Nothing's different about my life.
