It might be, but you’ve managed to focus on the single thing in my comment that was just a side note, and tongue-in-cheek as well. You literally ignored my whole point.

Let’s be explicit: The point is you can’t make the company go into a direction the leadership doesn’t want. “Protests” might have a short term effect, at best. that huge protest on Reddit when they changed API terms and more? Barely anyone actually left the platform. Not regular users, but mods did, making the platform technically worse, but the users clearly don’t notice. Or don’t care enough to leave.

You can’t make a company that size do anything, not as an individual, not as a group. Maybe as a share holder, obviously. I hope you got some millions to spare.

You said “we all should care”. What for? What does that do? “Caring” is the activists version of “thoughts and prayers”. It’s saying something, or thinking about something, but has no effect in the real world.

Hard disagree. There are also people using Facebook, then complain how they got ads for product x after talking about x casually with a friend. Just stop. They get no sympathy just like the companies didn’t get a pass for making services worse and worse.

There are never going to be viable alternatives if people keep using the worsening services
