if/when web2 data monopolies realize that they could be challenged by zkTLS startups, will they open up their APIs and let anyone easily exit their system, or will they fight harder to keep their monopoly?

I actually have a tokenomics idea to foist them into cooperation.

Applicable for the AVS network. Basically a portion of the fee the network charges is allocated for the origin api, so overtime there is a nice amount waiting for them.

Opening it up I think. There's no real way to fight to hide user data with more and more strenghened privacy/data ownership regulations. So better just profit over it themselves. It would still take years though.

fight

easier to fight than to change business model

They’ll fight hard... and then they will acquiesce.

Startup ecosystem is dependent on big tech acquiring them for investors to get their bags.
