The largest group of followers "deciding" to "stop doing" something, is something that never happens automatically, they are always influenced by a pioneer.

The question is which pioneer, there isn’t just a single person bucking any given trend.
Didn't claim there was a single pioneer bucking any given trend, I used plural in my previous replies to refer to pioneers as a whole.
That’s not what I meant. I mean do people stop on day 1 with the 57th pioneer, or day 20,037 with the 847,529th pioneer, or keep going? That’s a choice and individual followers don’t make the same choice.
That's a choice individual followers have little say in, since they merely follow and have no say/influence on the followers as a whole.
