Everything meta does is so weird and coercive. It leaves such a bad taste for me. This feels an extension of the “don’t delete your account! Here are all the pictures of people who will MISS YOU!” nonsense facebook used to do, or the now-normalized waiting periods and hidden settings for being able to delete accounts. They’re always finding little ways to overstep and encroach, because they just can’t accept that people might not want to use their service in exactly they way the company would make the most money from. It makes it all feel so gross.
