I’ve said similar things before. But from observing the depressing user adoption rate over the past two years, it’s becoming obvious to me that this is one of the reasons.

Adoption rate doesn’t bother me personally - quality content and good people - folks will come and some will stay. Others didn’t belong here with the ethos anyways. I am free to say interact and have a choice to not be steered by Algos - just works fine. Fun, music, memes. Some prefer better versus bigger.
