Fed up with Reddit’s owners, so I stopped my daily use. I did like Reddit more because of some well moderated and active subreddits, and I do occasionally pop my head in over there once a week or so to stay informed, but I spend almost all of my time here and on mastodon now.

I had a similar relationship with Facebook around 2015. Stopped pretty much entirely except for when I need to engage with Facebook marketplace, and I generally try to use Craigslist first.

The traditional “leverage” is just the standard CEO - stockholder relationship. The CEO manages the company well and the stockholders reward the CEO with payment and/or by making the stock price go up by buying more and/or not selling. IMO that basic relationship broke down a while ago, but the stock market has been unhinged for so long that it seemed to not matter.

One of those is actually two possible outcomes. There’s TSLA Tanks (the stock) and TSLA Tanks (TSLA becomes an arms dealer), and they aren’t mutually exclusive.
