This is honestly something i wasn't expecting, and it is disheartening people really don't give a fuck. You can legit get away with anything these days
I didn't figure there would be a majority migration from reddit, but I definitely imagined a larger backlash than we've seen.
As other users have said, casual users don't care enough, or just don't notice. This thought was solidified for me recently when I saw Netflix had a huge boost in subscriptions in places where they cracked down on password sharing. After all of the negative press, all the people coming out against it, Netflix gets rewarded for the behavior.
So it goes. At least there are alternatives for people who want them. I'm still holding out some hope for changes on the larger platforms, but if they are constantly rewarded and/or validated in their choices, then change will never come.
I think the people still on reddit are those that don't care. The rest of us have already left. Even if they canceled all of their plans I wouldn't go back. They can have it.
