@jonhicks Maybe the fastest, easiest to debunk claim chowder of the past decade. It’s astounding.

@gedeonm @jonhicks ah but the central claim is not really about the strength of the app today, is it? It’s about an imaginary future version of the app, unshackled from the baggage of bothersome things like data privacy laws.

@kapowaz @gedeonm I understood it was said very much about the current state of the app, but yes, wait until the ads start!

@jonhicks @gedeonm I’m saying the above with tongue in cheek, just to be clear - it’s a pretty poor first pass. But I’m also trying to understand the pathology of somebody who sees it as a good thing and why they might be bullish about its future. As you say, wait for the ads!
