    Thing is, people move platforms extremely easily.

    LOL WTF are you talking about? The only reason these platforms are able to abuse the absolute shit out of their users is because they refuse to leave. If there's anything we've learned in the last 3-4 years it's that users absolutely do not leave platforms no matter what (at least not in any significant numbers). Not Reddit, not Xitter, not Facebook or IG or Threads, not Windows, and not Discord.

    People left MSN Messenger and Skype before, my dude. There's just so much the average user can take.

    Remind me: how many million users did those platforms have?
