only way they can even do this is how much users they already have and how entrenched those users are. Its insane how much people are willing to put up with to keep using the shitty services, just because they have used them for long time.

they apparently lost alot of actual users enough for reddit to become desperate to force logins. i think thats why Facebook did it too, gotta keep those boomers/genxers using it for thier right wing slop. certain health groups(describing thier own diseases) are sitll on fb, but i would not touch it.

i saw a graph somewhere the recent traffic drop was from open AI not scraping anymore.
