It matters to me, which is why I left. At the end of the day, I don't care one bit if the social network I use is financially successful, only if it provides me a good experience.

Sure, I left for the same reason. But the CEO is still laughing his way to the bank while the communities are worse off. I'd say he won this one.

Depends on your definition of "won". I agree with the sentiment elsewhere in this thread that the real winners who were able to migrate somewhere better, and that those platforms got enough of an influx to actually become worth visiting.
