All these sites monitor engagement, they walk the line between maximum ads and users. If we decrease the users, they'll decrease the ads to try and keep us.

    LOL, nah. If we decrease the users, they'll increase the ads to try to compensate for declining revenue. They believe they have all the power and don't give a fuck what we think.

    Classic business death spiral. Same thing is happening in electricity providers everywhere. Prices too high, more people go to solar, reduces their demand (revenues), so they increase their prices to compensate... higher prices means more people choose solar, and around it goes.
