Tailwind just happens to be a common way to write CSS.
If Tailwind didn't exist people would just be writing the same article about {{ insert most common css tool here }}
Most people create generic similar looking websites, and most people that making a new website today use Tailwind. Correlation is not causation, and linking the two in any meaningful way is just a pointless discussion.
Tailwind is just the latest iteration of people trying "real" CSS, discovering that it still sucks, and coming up with something with better abstractions than the last iteration of attempts to replace CSS.
Everything else is just people using a default configuration instead of building their own.
The issue is that problem one is real, but not in a way that's beneficial to other advertising products.
Search, social and app store ads are over rated in that a lot of brands should probably decrease their investment, but things like programmatic display ads are absolutely not under rated. The correct number of dollars that should be spent on those placements is close to zero.
- Search ad pricing is inelastic and auction based (supply goes down price goes up).
- A jump in traffic to DuckDuckGo does not mean Google is experiencing a decline in search volume. Number of queries per session has increased since launching AI Overviews.

False. Advertisers have budgets and ROI targets. If Google cannot compete people will get their clicks elsewhere.

But it does produce lower ROI for advertisers (in this case: CTR goes down because my ad is being shown to more people). Once user is on my landing page, my conversion rate is fine month on month (±1%), but my CTR on google got sharply worse by 5% since, and if it goes much further I'll stop completely on Google.
I doubt I am alone: Maybe others will jump ship sooner and the price will recover (demand goes down) but in either event Google is less net revenue, and given how aggressive their sales pushes have been I think it could be that big
Luxury car makers should look to handbags for inspiration. If Ferrari wants to expand the market and reach new customers they shouldn't be making something that looks like an upbadged BYD.
It's like if Hermes started making a Jansport backpack, absurd. Instead they sell lower cost, but still premium designs like the Picotin. The Lamborghini Urus might be one example.
Just because we don't understand or know about compilers or able to read their output does not make them fungible.
In old days we chose between Turbo/Borland C, Quick C and GCC. We didn't think them same or trust blindly even if we didn't know how they worked.
The best developers hand optimized assembly for sub routines which they knew compilers were not good at, the rest of us sure didn't understand how any of it worked, but nonetheless felt the differences and chose with dollars and usage .
Part of what I’m getting at is exactly your point that we used to think about what compiler to use and didn’t always blindly trust them.
If you have enough tests at what point does AI rewriting software in a different language become close enough to ‘deterministic’? Maybe never, maybe not.
This is pretty common across social media as well, surveyed sentiment towards it often negative while usage is high. I suspect it's because of the addictive quality.
But sentiment toward YouTube isn't negative. It is the most reputable social media in Morning Consult's brand reputation survey. It enjoys a higher reputation score than things like Cheerios and Tylenol. I don't think you can separate the reputation of the platform from the collective impression left by the creators, and people like the creators on YouTube. And, I propose, people largely DGAF about the platform features and presentation.
