Oh that makes sense. He gets to tweak the active users numbers to minimise the loss but call it community engagement. Then he shows the investors that number and they think the protest hype is overblown. Plus keep CPI income from advertisers coming in while trying to pivot to crypto bullshit.
He's probably laughing his ass off at this form of "protest". It's functionally equivalent to when people get mad at a company so they buy their product and destroy it on social media.
Think about what Spez wants, and do the opposite.
The protests are also making it to more mainstream media like The Independent. Extra name recognition will be great in the less techy demographics.
