Why won't people leave Zuck and Musk and Jack and the rest of Corporate Social Media behind? Stockholm Syndrome - "feelings of trust or affection felt in many cases of kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim toward a captor."

Our lives are lived via commerce. Tools like advertising driven websites make commerce available.

I really don't care if there are advertisements or not, as long as I can control who I follow and who I read.

@freetoken I don't really care about the ads and I don't think they are a reason for people going or staying.

@chris network affect is the long and short of it. One half peek at threads and AOC is there! The bluejays are there! Would I like to engage with them? Of course! If I am trying to sell a book about socialism and baseball then the audience is right there in the followers!

I suspect most people who are on those platforms either feel indifferent towards them, or are there despite them.

With probably most being indifferent.
