Actually it is very realistic to stop using Meta products - I've done it. And the more people stop, the less effective the network effect becomes.

In the early 2010s not being on Facebook meant you couldn’t really engage with university clubs, neighborhood groups, etc.

Now a lot of that stuff is on WhatsApp.

Being off their social media products is one thing, I am myself, but being off of WhatsApp is like being off the grid in most countries.

People in my community are bragging about getting off social media - it's like a new status symbol around here.
