Thinking about the #Tumblr engineer who said they believe interoperability with the social web would just be a cost center and wouldn’t bring any profits. The point is not how interoperability affects the bottom line, the point is that it allows your platform to survive in an ever changing social media landscape and have a bottom line at all. If #Pebble was part of the social web, they would have had a network of 1.8M active users, not 1,000, and perhaps wouldn’t have had to shut down.

@Gargron thought about this too. Pebble believed trust & safety is too difficult on distributed networks, so made an intentional choice to be a centralized network. That was part of their value prop, but it didn't end up working out for them
