Solid points Joe. My netnographic research points to a distrust in large platforms, but a growing preference for more private use of social tools like Discord, forums, WhatsApp, where it's harder for businesses to intrude and the members are known. It is the invisible hand of culture pushing back. Like it has for thousands of years.
