Maybe, I'm missing some larger point, but it seems like the real dilemma here is that people lack the discipline to give up things that do not benefit them. As per constant discussion here on HN, many of us continue to untangle social networks from our lives.

If Twitter has become a place where users spend more time complaining about the platform rather than actually using the platform, they should quit. Not because I have some utopian capitalist view where each user can just go off and build their own Twitter clone or because of some "don't like it, leave" mentality. I'm saying this because I believe it's conducive to their mental health.

Otherwise, people become quite cynical and make choices they wouldn't normally make - as in limiting free speech for the sake of corporate gains.
