    I like the sabotage but when this was announced I 100% assumed it was an attempt to boost engagement numbers as they approach their IPO, and looks like it’s working for that.

      I sure hope people who are interested in the IPO are smart enough to look into what is driving the engagement, as opposed to just looking at numbers.

      That said it will be interesting to see how engaged people are with the idea this year. I think users probably just wanted a bit of normal time
