These people are trying to take away interaction and engagement from a platform they say is a social network.
I asked if this was their goal, but I received no response. I usually never do.
But give it a couple of more days and see if things don't improve by then. I know it sucks, but at this point, there isn't much we can do about it. It's out of my hands and very few people at the top are ever willing to listen. Even fewer are willing to act.
