      considering a large amount of the population uses it

      I’m curious about this one. Most people I know have used it, but eventually stopped. Journalists and public figures use it, and I think that gives it an outsized presence in our culture.

      I can’t find stats from anywhere that seems reliable.

        At its peak it had 70 million active users. It’s just widely used in media and press, so there’s a perception that it’s actually popular.

      It’s a cyclical problem right? People keep using it because everyone uses it.

      You gotta rip the bandaid off at some point. If enough people do then the influences and news sources will follow where the audience is.
