The API thing last year was my last straw. Finally killing off the last of the "we totally love our users" bit and changing it to a very profit-focused platform was the indication it was time. It wasn't until after I left did I realize what a toll it was taking on my mental health.
Tried, but it didn't stick. Learned that people will move over naturally. I talk about it if people ask me why I'm not on Reddit, but I never push or actively encourage. I learned that only makes people less likely to try it. Don't know why, probably some psychological reasoning, but if I show I'm too excited about something they'll actively avoid it.
I have this feeling too. I think that is because I'm not cool, people don't want to do the things that the not cool guy is doing.
People who think like this suck honestly.
Realized I replied to the same comment. 🤣
Wow! So it is true, I often hear that people don’t like pushers.
