Certainly declaring a winner in this situation is dumb.

It's not dumb. It's the canary in the coal mine. It's showing that people don't actually give a shit and will continually subject themselves to more and more abuse rather than simply moving to a new platform.

And it's showing this to other corporations who continue to enshittify the internet.

    Imo it is dumb that media always frames anything happening like a sports event. This binary win or lose narrative rarely if ever captures the complexity of a situation. It's the strongest in the US where sensationalism is striving to become an art form due to the two party system. When there are only two competing sites politics can quickly feel like a sports event. And democracy dies to lack of actual discussion and lack of options.
