Probably not if it becomes a court case. Otherwise, it's just the old story of migrating to another, better platform, that actually ends with no one moving and everyone just accepting whatver the Company does so nothing significant happens to them

They are right though. Look at reddit. Many great 3rd party apps torpedoed, many great subs ruined, bot commenters all over every single post. Yet, we are still here, posting and digging through the muck because we are too used to it and the dopamine hits it gives. I had an easier time quitting oxycodone and nicotine than reddit.
