Yeah, I don't buy it. Like there was an "exodus" when Netflix limited account sharing? Like when streaming services raise their prices? Oh yeah, it doesn't happen. Just a blip in the churn. Also, reviewing "hundreds of posts and comments across various social media platforms that said users would delete their Meta accounts, stop posting or boycott the company in response to the changes" is not users deleting their Meta accounts and boycotting the company. Crap story.
