Data security does effect everyone. All I am saying is #Memo will have to draw the content creators to grow, then the users will come after.
I agree with that, though I also think that educating regular users about data security can create a network effect for the platform. It would take all of us doing it though, and more
That would be nice, but most ppl including me would rather leave that to the data security experts because that's their job. Median users aren't mad understand it
Most people are aware of all the shady shit Facebook and other centralized social media corps pull, and care about it, but are in denial because their network effect is too strong
It's not denial. It's lack of a better option. People know the world is messed up, they just don't know a better option. Even with fiat currency to insecure social media platforms
Several people that I've warned about Facebook say that they can't quit, usually because they either advertise there, or just because everyone uses it and they want to keep in touch
That's an interesting way to think about it, I always saw it as distancing yourself from a dependency. It's much easier if you replace bad habits with constructive ones
I had trouble quitting cigarettes too, but kicked them pretty easily when I started dating a non-smoker. It's nearly impossible without a good reason though, I'm at ~4 years now
You can only quit an addiction if you have a good enough reason period. A good WHY? (reason to quit) will carry you through every single obstacle and hard time.
