The bazinga shit is just about mandatory whether people want it or not. The real inevitabilism is a matter of market manipulation by the ruling class, eliminating choices that don't contribute to the real profit motive: data gathering and aggregation.
But they're gathering the data to sell to use on the other guy's Bazinga thing, now advertising has mostly collapsed.
