I mean there’s Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I’m sure there are plenty more (and I haven’t even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a couple months?

    You are so right. For social media, The Thing that makes their products great is us. They are really showing how little they understand us.

      Hopefully these instances show that we as the user/consumer can make decisions en masse and have a positive influence long term.

        oh they’re betting on users/consumers making decisions en masse ; they just want to be able to instruct us what decisions to make and for us to follow through.
        That’s what Facebook has been able to do, sometimes (see: targeted advertising that got #45 elected in the US.)
        It doesn’t always work (see: numerous articles trying to cajole people to Return To Office work rather than Work From Home, to prop-up the value of office buildings.)
