I remember what made me quit facebook, way before it became Meta: the TV serie Person of interest. It gave me a big awarness of the scale of mass surveillance. I already had the project to quit because of Zuck’s shenanigans and the lack of interest i had in the platform, but this was the last straw for me.
I quit Facebook/Insta long ago but started perma deleting stagnant accounts a little after Cambridge Analytic stuff I think? It was my first real eye-opening moment when it came to data privacy and the whole misinformation cesspool that is social media.
Reddit when 3rd party apps were dropped.
Twitter partly when Musk killed 3rd party apps…then fully when he became a shithead.
Snapchat mostly because it annoyed me.
Never used TikTok other than viewing a video someone sent me in a web browser.
Bonus because I’m still salty: Prime when they introduced ads in Prime Video.
