What's the last straw that made you quit commercial social medias (Meta,TwitterX, etc...)? (lemmy.ml)

I remember what made me quit facebook, way before it became Meta: the TV serie Person of interest. It gave me a big awarness of the scale of mass surveillance. I already had the project to quit because of Zuck's shenanigans and the lack of interest i had in the platform, but this was the last straw for me.

Facebook: was the death of my grandmother. Had no reason whatsoever to keep otherwise. Instagram: got chronically on it and realized just how much anxiety it gave me. Snap: same as Facebook minus grandma, just didn’t care after my last long term relationship. Got back on for a buddy of mine to just meme at each other. TikTok:same as instagram. It was not healthy and the algorithm I was on was not helpful for quitting my addiction. Spotify: lack of high fidelity streaming, moved to tidal whilst I build up my hifi library on plex and then I’ll do plex pass lifetime.
