This article isn't at all about how sad the author is. It's a fairly abstract essay about the rise of alogorithmically-defined identity, and some of the ramifications of that.

We should also keep in mind that the journal the author is writing for is sponsored by Snapchat.

Obviously, Snapchat will shed no tears if people leave Facebook/Instagram en masse for its own platform.

The arguments apply equally well to others and to life under capitalism in general.
