Super important to note that reduction in use of any social media played a role in their analysis. Facebook users tended to use social media less as a whole, whereas IG users simply swapped IG for something else. The details are interesting on this one.

@joxean i have one reason for you, all those computers, cloud-connectedness and proprietary maintenance vendor-lockin in those electric cars is making the otherwise very intersting technology super toxic for me, longing to buy only cars built before 1990, especially in the soviet block (those were super easy to maintain with a hammer and a blowtorch)
