The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

      Are you not aware of the people who shit on facebook? I think most reddit and reddit to lemmy users hate Facebook.

      Head to pcgaming, pcmasterrace, steam deck subs and you’ll also see hate for Microsoft. Partly due to copilot, hate of online account being pushed, and being spyware.

      Same for Google too with them being seen as a company that is spying on everyone which is why roms like GrapheneOS gets brought up.

      Now usage is still high partly due to some people’s dependency on it for productivity, but criticism and hate is there. Even China and Russia is stuck using Microsoft among regular consumers despite them having the most reason to not trust US software.
