I like to believe the trend goes away from large scale apps/services that cost nothing for the end user (and are financed by trading user data and/or showing adverts) towards small/medium sized apps/services that cost a bit of money. This enables businesses with smaller audiences to survive and solve those "smaller" problems.
Any problem involving network effects is hard to pull off with small or medium services.
