And people have known about it for just about as long. Yet there are still plenty of people using their products.

I guess nobody on here still has a FB acount, Instagram account, Whatsapp account, Giphy. /s

It's a bit like this.......... Companies like his buy up everything, and before you know it that self stirring spoon you bought, made by some independent manufacturer who saves dolphins in Japan is bought up by the likes of Zuckerberg. Avoiding these capitalist vacuums is unavoidable unless you want to live in a tree eating berries 🍒

An apt analogy! I guess I'm of the perspective of not spending my time worrying about things I can't help or change. I'm not a tech developer, I won't be creating an app to take on Meta minus all the darker shit they do. The majority of the tech world uses their products, which means I'm going to end up having to use them in certain scenarios, too.
