      ‘Most users’ will care when they lose all the content they relied on for their late-night doomscrolling.

        I’m assuming most of the doomscrolling content comes from bots. It’s all articles with clickbait titles auto-posted by the social media arm of news/blog/journal/etc. sites, then upvoted by bots for visibility to try to lure as many people in as possible for that sweet ad revenue.

          My experience, based on fringe, very technical communites differs somewhat. But you can only lead horses to water, not make them drink.
