In find it incredible that even through all this, there will be users that will not look for alteratives.

It can be hard to leave a platform that you're highly invested in, especially if you have a lot of content already on there.

Yes ! Plus "looking for alternative" can be surprisingly difficult for non-tech users. Let's be kind to everyone trying their best <3.
