I feel you. I've spent the last couple years building up self hosted replacements for these enshittified services as they flop. But despite all the work I've put in, I can't even get them to log off facebook to look at what I've got.
What does yours have of value to them that Facebook doesn't?
You make an excellent point, without use it’s mostly just there for nothing.. but, specifically I build shit that they complain about. I have my personal photo site up with all my digital photos from the last 25 years catalogued and available from anywhere, I did this because they complained about not having them accessible. Hasn’t been logged into by anyone but me...
But I don’t really blame them, I get it. The easy button is right there.
