I can empathize, but I can't feel indignant about it. Not any more.
For years and years I've watched people warn about the centralization of power by tech companies. They were shut down left and right. I'm not accusing you of being one doing the shutting down. I'm just annoyed that Elon is what it takes for people to start realizing the people arguing the principal might have been onto something.
And I expect to see them start getting their "I told you so" in. Watching this play out, I'm personally inclined to join team "you made your bed, now sleep in it."
