  Any of the bug. I left i vague because I think there's still a chance for a disruptive force to enter the market.

  That's the point. This entire thing is complaining about SEO. If your business model is serving ads with SEO and not retaining people with quality content, I'm not going to get too upset about it.

  Google is killing itself with this shit, but it doesn't really matter. People will move back to Link aggregators and actually working to get the search results they need.

  What's funny is Korean VPNs would be paying the fees to the ISPs instead, lol. ISPs still get their money.

  They're leaving the market. If anything Amazon is putting a shot across the bow of the ISPs who are charging these interconnect fees to get THEM negative press and make the Korean public demand a change in the laws so they can get the Internet the pay for.

  Supposedly that service is P2P, so that's how they operate without the fees.

  It's not about media, it's about traffic period. It's regulatory capture and subsequent collusion by Korean ISPs. Prohibitively expensive to run a streaming service like that even if you have local datacenters to reduce international transit fees (because you still have to connect to the local ISPs who will still charge you). https://carnegieendowment.org/2021/08/17/afterword-korea-s-challenge-to-standard-internet-interconnection-model-pub-85166

  There's a suprising density of unique locations and interactions beyond the main quests. Try walking around in the city and you'll see.
