It’s not that I don’t sympathize, but that IS what happened. The platform is no longer something you can use without carrying that weight. You just can’t. Yes, it sucks for them, but people’s workflows and ability to do their jobs get disrupted all the time. Factories shut down. Industries get replaced.

Yes, the work is hard, and yes it isn’t their fault that this happened. But life isn’t fair. The fact is staying with this platform is delivering income to a man who who is running his own judicial review of the laws of democratic countries, just threatened to rape Taylor Swift on an international platform, and thinks the world should be run by incels. Absolutely NO amount of “But I’d have to find a new audience…” changes that. I understand it isn’t easy, but sometimes doing the right thing is hard. That doesn’t mean you get a pass to not do it. If making the right decisions were easy and involved no personal sacrifice, everyone would do it all the time.
