Nice post; to me, this is learning on a societal, global level. People are learning together that these silos are abusive and exploit their users' data. So they move on in search of a better option.

Ha, see? I was right about the first anecdote!

(from Julia Evans)

"myth: everyone should blog

I sometimes see advice to the effect of “blogging is great! public speaking is great! everyone should do it! build your Personal Brand!“.

Blogging isn’t for everyone. Tons of amazing developers don’t have blogs or personal websites at all. I write because it’s fun for me and it helps me organize my thoughts."

...so why share this? idk. Doesn't matter (to me, blogs mean a lot to many people).

Fun(?)
