I don't believe the people saying "just wait and see" are genuine users. I have a hard time fathoming that after Meta's atrocious history, as well as the history of what happens when large corporations get involved -- I simply can't believe these are more than paid shill accounts.
Or maybe I'm the one who's naive, thinking that people can't possibly be so foolish...

Sadly you are naive. People truly are that foolish.
Sometimes it brings me fleeting moments of doomerism, where I think maybe it will be good when we humans are gone
