I get the sense that this is true for many enshittified services. See anything Microsoft. The FOSS movement seems to be gaining some traction again.

My guess is it's driven by very poor user experience coupled with worse product.

Technical leople who care about privacy/surveillance at least a little bit need take one look at the current state of tech and US govt to see how fucking fast dystopia is becoming reality. See discord/openai writeup that came out, ads literally everywhere, flock and ring cameras wide open and passively performing recon, routers doing the same... it's like snow crash out here

Makes perfect sense that those who know would say fuck this, im out. Convenience isn't worth it anymore
