Anti-Competition by Design
By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News
Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — May 6, 2026
Competition is what keeps markets honest. When users can move freely, platforms must earn loyalty through better service. On X, that freedom has narrowed. The system increasingly rewards staying inside one ecosystem and quietly punishes anyone who tries to operate outside it.
This essay explains how that design works and why it harms Filipino creators, journalists, and small businesses.
How Lock-In Replaces Competition
Healthy platforms compete for users by improving tools, reliability, and trust. Unhealthy ones compete by making exit costly.
On X, creators who post links to outside sites often see reduced reach. Accounts that encourage audiences to follow them elsewhere grow more slowly. Over time, users learn an unspoken rule: keep everything inside the platform or accept penalties.
This is not open competition. It is enforced dependence.
Why This Matters More in the Philippines
Filipino creators rarely rely on a single income source. Many combine writing, freelancing, donations, and small online sales. That requires moving audiences between platforms.
When one platform blocks that movement, it blocks income. A creator may have followers, but no way to convert that attention into support elsewhere. The platform keeps the audience. The creator carries the risk.
This imbalance is especially damaging in lower-income markets.
Small Businesses Face the Same Wall
Local businesses use social media to reach customers, then send them to websites, booking pages, or messaging apps. When those links are suppressed, business slows.
Owners often do not know why traffic drops. They blame themselves, not the platform. Meanwhile, the platform keeps users scrolling instead of buying.
Anti-competitive design is most effective when it is quiet.
Choice Without Real Freedom
Supporters often argue that users can leave at any time. In theory, that is true. In practice, audiences are locked in.
Years of work, followers, and reputation are tied to one system. Leaving means starting over. Staying means accepting rules that favor the platform over the user.
That is not free choice. It is constrained choice.
Why This Is a Business Failure
Markets grow when value flows in many directions. Platforms that block movement limit growth for everyone except themselves.
For Filipino users, this means fewer options, lower income, and higher risk. For the platform, it means declining trust and long-term instability.
Anti-competition may protect control in the short term, but it weakens the ecosystem over time.
Looking Ahead
The next essay will examine how these same design choices affect advertisers and why many brands avoid platforms with unpredictable and restrictive behavior.
When competition is designed out of the system, users always pay the price.

Digital Trends: The influencer economy’s invisible workers are first in line for the AI chop . “That arrangement worked because the labor was affordable and mostly invisible.

The factory floor was always there. AI […]

HOUSE STATION LIVE: A COLLECTIVE SABOTAGED
Of course, I edited and hosted most of the videos myself. But House Station Live was never meant to be the project of a lone individual. It was a collective—a platform to showcase young talent, not yet another vlog centered on my own persona. This YouTube channel was supposed to serve as the launch campaign for an ambitious webTV, broadcasting 24/7 on our own servers. An alternative to traditional media, with our rules, our voices, our style. But very quickly, I had to put House Station Live on hold. YouTube was too demanding. And paradoxically, it was the only way not to end up in debt.
¯_
JOSÉ, DINOH, KÉVINI worked with several presenters:
- José, charismatic but without his own following,
- Dinoh, competent but limited by lack of visibility,
- And Kévin, a freelance editor I hired for some episodes.
I spent a tremendous amount of time organizing castings, looking for hosts, trying to convince people. But how do you persuade someone to represent a channel that gets 20 views—even with decent pay? Even "generous" payments weren’t enough to keep people motivated. Eventually, candidates dropped out.
¯_
THE TRAP OF FULL-TIME COMMITMENTI no longer had the means to produce both House Station Live and YouTube content in parallel. So I bet everything on the platform. YouTube consumed me. Managing production, editing, recruitment, technical direction, scheduling, testing formats, durations, themes, hosts—I tried it all:
- Videos from 1 to 50 minutes,
- On all kinds of topics: video games, Formula 1, news, reviews, let’s plays.
But convincing a freelancer to commit long-term at a low rate is a nightmare. I couldn’t afford to pay for many hours or high rates. My channel brought in zero revenue. I had nothing to reinvest.
¯_
A TEAM SACRIFICEDAnd yet, I tried. House Station Live wasn’t just a personal project. It was a collective hope. A launchpad. Momentum. We wanted to build an audience ahead of time, so that once the set was ready, we could immediately produce, publish, and exist. But in reality, YouTube swiped us away with a single gesture—like a Tinder match rejected with a left swipe. And it cost them nothing. No time. No money. No emotional weight.
¯_
A CHANNEL, A GRINDERYouTube contributes nothing to the creation of videos. It has no personal interest in whether your content finds its audience. The algorithm sorts, tests, eliminates. It's math-driven, disembodied, dehumanized. And the creator falls alone. On TV, you don’t air a million-euro show at 4 a.m. There’s programming, a respect for what’s been produced. On YouTube, no distinction: whether your video cost €10,000 or €0, it’s treated the same.
¯_
A FRUSTRATED AUDIENCE, A BROKEN CREATOR13-year-old trolls watch your content for 5 seconds, dislike your face, and move on. The algorithm knows this—and exploits it. It drives hatred and constant frustration, so you keep trying harder. For nothing. And if you dare believe your freshness, creativity, and sincerity will resonate... you crash into a machine that despises who you are.
