You have a paradise if the ruler is wise, just and benevolent, as you can escape pretty much all of the stupid coordination problems that pester democracies - but on the other hand you risk getting totally screwed up if the dictator goes evil (which can, and probably always will, happen over time, when a good dictator gets succeeded by a bad one).

Thanks for all the evidence, but Microsoft's primary revenue stream isn't advertising, and Facebook is getting success by suing spammers that commit fraud against Facebook.
