Too many want a 1 for 1 replacement at this moment. They can't see that it will take some time to grow.

Or they want/hope things to go back to normal. Change is hard for many. But more and more intrusive ads are coming.

I think when the IPO happens and mods hear about how many tens of millions spez made off their unpaid labor, more mods will question why they are doing it.
