    Meanwhile, the masses are still using all the ‘services’ because they all have momentum. I’m not confident any of them can do anything bad enough to chase off their users.

      I thought Facebook would die with all the scandals, I’m the only person in my life who cared. I deleted Twitter before it became X, I’m the only one I know who did that.

      I don’t think anyone gives a shit and it’s made me hate people a lot more than I used to.

        Most people I know left Facebook and Twitter years ago. Maybe it’s just a difference in people we associate with?

      I already left reddit because they did bad things. Assume you mean chase off a critical mass though? The fact that “X” is still a thing may prove you correct.

      Yeah, they’re not leaving. The only way they would leave is if the service were to be physically shut down. Pretty sure you could make everyone watch 1 minute long ads on app open and they would still stay.

      For now.

      I’m old as shit, I’ve seen an uncountable amount of “social media” come and go. At it’s heart reddit is just a forum. They’ve tacked on a lot of modern shit, but so do most of them when they’re running out of steam.

      It’s a war of attrition now. People will leave in batches overtime until it just kinda ends, or not. Myspace is still shuffling around here somewhere.

      100%. In a writing sub I threw out. “I wish they’d just charge us, users a fee.”

      I got “Pay for this?!”

      Folks live and die on Reddit but the idea of paying is… gross. Yet they scream about moves like this.

      People, man… I dunno.
