Like many other social media sites it’s partially network effects.

It’s probably majority network effects. If you compare Instagram to 5, 10 years ago on the dot, you see an atrocious drop off on quality and usability. The change was so insidious, majority of people didn’t notice or care all that much. And yet, Instagram is still one of the largest platforms in the US, despite how objectively horrendous it is to users.

Yeah, this is why I doubled this post on Reddit as well… though I keep encouraging people to check out Lemmy!
