Sadly most users still don't care.
‘Most users’ will care when they lose all the content they relied on for their late-night doomscrolling.
Before they know it, they'll find themselves in a sea of shit content and ads, and realize what they lost.
I imagine a lot of people just browse All, so they're already there.
Are you from the past?
I'm assuming most of the doomscrolling content comes from bots. It's all articles with clickbait titles auto-posted by the social media arm of news/blog/journal/etc. sites, then upvoted by bots for visibility to try to lure as many people in as possible for that sweet ad revenue.
We don't care about most users, if they insist to ignore the fire alarms.
I do care about most users, they create most of the content i read.
My experience, based on fringe, very technical communites differs somewhat. But you can only lead horses to water, not make them drink.
They'll figure it out somewhere down the line.
We tried to save them but the concept that there could be multiple communities with the same name broke many a redditor.
People are set in their ways, I get it. We are just the ones who were so pissed at reddit that we pressed onwards despite the hurdles. Along with the people who are technically gifted so it was easy for them. I'm in the former category 😅
