The Facebook comparison really resonates with me. I've always been the type of person to just throw pictures of my kids on Facebook for my family's benefit, but was never a daily user. During the reddit blackout, I checked Facebook a few times and realized that it is a complete shell of its former self. Browsing it is literally "ad, ad, content not relevant to me, 6 day-old post from a distant friend, ad, ad, repeat."
It's not like these companies just die and turn off forever. It's a slow and gradual death that's easy not to notice if you're not paying attention. A lot of redditors are acting like it's still business as usual, but they can't see that it's starting to go downhill.
