And people will join on there and it will have more success than better alternatives probably, at least for now. It's mindblowing how little people care/understand.

And it's not even like Meta offers any good service, FB has been crap forever.

I think most of the world has bought into the marketing lies of big tech, where they claim to be secure and private. Caring for their users. I was one of those people, until one day I asked a simple question, "what are these companies doing to actually protect me?" Nothing. rather I have made myself more vulnerable by being on a platform that uses my information at scale. They are doing everything to protect themselves from law suits and to keep racking in money over decades old dream of marketing based on large amount of personal data gathering. Ad money is drying up this year, high interest rate and all that. I wonder what impact that will have on these platforms.
