> I don't think RTO or fewer meetings is going to reverse or even slow Instagram's slide down the enshittification chute.
In my view it's been well down that chute since shortly after its acquisition by Facebook. Facebook bought them as a hedge as young people left the FB platform and, for a time, it's worked to keep users under the Meta umbrella, but as with everything Zucc touches, the end-user experience has been in a state of steady degradation.
I’d like a retrospective on “if you don’t like what Twitter is doing, you can build your own”… because it seems network effects are real, despite Facebook money.
It seems they did like what Twitter was doing, because it's the same thing with the same problems. No wonder nobody uses it, why use a knockoff when the real thing is free?
