Enjoyed this video a few years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2xHZPH5Sng I think this happens on a lot of the scaled platforms, where people see the success of others & try to adopt it. Over time, you see things converge on "best practices", but that can also be seen as a race to the bottom.
