*" Monument of Reward "*
They were united,..
They were destroyed,..
Herded into the valley
of death..
Accompanied by applause..
Cursed be they..
Who smile with pride..
Handing out gravestones..

*"The Venomous Sweet Smile"*
Those lured by its charm...
shatter at a touch.
Those blinded by their folly...
crumble into dust.
They are made to tear each other apart,
while both bleed as victims.
The Users twist into monsters of rage..
The Developers wither as prey to the carnage..
Twin thrones roar with laughter..
Glasses clink, palms applaud.
May they all be damned..
The rulers of brittle thrones..
and every soul that follows.
To live is torment..
To die is eternal agony.

*"Predatory design" / "Kill-switch ecosystem"*
A business model where the platform builds traps to kill competitors & drain victims. The invitation to join = the trap door.
*The 3 crimes, short version*
*1. Sabotage disguised as invitation*
Told to "join the Ecosystem", but the requirement is to arm a bomb in your own project. You press the button that destroys it.
*2. Manufactured scarcity*
All rival projects get blown up by that bomb. Only the "Pair of Thrones" projects remain. Rare = expensive = they profit.
*3. Pit them against each other to stay blind*
Users blame Devs. Devs blame Users. Meanwhile the masterminds on the thrones stay safe, toasting while watching. No one fights them.
*Bottom line*
Not innovation. This is robbery with code. Dressed up as "ecosystem", but it’s really a cage + landmines.
Real-world analogy: platforms that change APIs every 3 months until small devs go broke, then release their own "official" version.
"This is sophisticated crime, because it demands sophisticated expertise."

*The Throne Trap*
Their wealth doesn't vanish because of a bug.
It's a feature.
Designed from day one.
They gather projects inside their pen,
then siphon a portion of their wealth in silence.
Create scarcity.
Pump the price.
Destroy rivals without dirtying their hands.
The throne owner stays spotless.
Consumers are set to fight the developers.
Meanwhile the mastermind laughs
from atop his poisoned throne.
