But the parade of calamities since:

- cutting back on moderation: who cares?

- unplugging servers: if the app still works who cares?

- reinstating banned accounts: this is arguably a good thing but who cares?

- replacing verified check marks with paid subscription badges: wasn't verified in the first place so who cares?

- throttling access to news sites: who cares?

- blaming the Anti-Defamation League for a decline in advertising: arguably true but who cares?

I understand why NPR left but when I read the list of "calamities" there's not a single point there that affected me as an individual user. And I assume that's the case for vast majority of users. I understand people that don't use social media in general. But I never understood people that use and actually like twitter but quit because of these supposed "calamities" that didn't even really affect them in the first place.
