This happens with all movements, not just apps. As they go mainstream, we have not just more noise, but the ethos is diluted, co-opted or forgotten.
Like right now, with the bitcoin2024 shitshow, we see what happens when normies arrive to the bitcoin movement: you forget cypherpunk, hard money roots and simp for politicians, Wall Street and “strategic reserve asset” crap.
This also happened to the feminist and gay movements in just the past decades…
