That, and people believe FUD, which is usually in the form of overreporting on toxic callouts - yes, I had to block some anti-AI people and their blocklists, but Twitter is still way worse.
Other is that people believe too much in the power of "market demand magic". Remember all those elitist gamers who only want games to be made to the most hardcore ones, who in turn harass women and minorities? It's not just them who are like that. Even progressive Harry Potter fans are still deluding themselves that if they stop funding Johanne Karen Rowling's TERF war chest, she will suddenly become way worse.
Yet others complain that Bluesky and Mastodon are not as addictive as Xitter. It's like claiming salad is bad for you, because it doesn't provide cocaine-like addiction.
