The Reddit migration was probably mostly people who know what an API is so that fits your demographic.
Also, people generally don’t take a stance on something unless it affects them personally. So API, privacy, data collection etc just doesn’t register.
I just walked past the barbers and there was a young kid in there (maybe 9/10 years old) with longish hair who had a perfect shaved strip right on top of his head! Reckon his siblings must’ve stitched him up or something! Poor kid!
