I appreciate your perspective, and I hear you, but that's not how I see it. Culture is too often an excuse for “someone else fix this first.” It's downstream of investment. Sure, that can mean many things, but if we want to create a real change in categories of products like social media, we need to support the alternative. The alternative to extractive, exploitative enshittification is to pay for the product. As I began with, to each their own.
