It's the classic problem. On Youtube, people view Rumble as a place filled with undesirable exiles.
Likewise, Twitterati and Twitchists make up reasons for themselves to view the users of their platforms' rivals as their own enemies.
When you think of yourself not as a creator of streaming video content, but rather as a youtuber, youtube rests on that loyalty. That's way easier than doing anything to implement moderation features like to what twitch has. All they have to do is let you tell yourself there's barbarians at the gates.

If you have the inexplicable addiction to twitter that the world seems to have, you won't dream of being able to post 1024 characters at a time like we've been doing on mastodon this whole time.

Hello again, H. Burger. Thank you for sending me an electronic mail.
it has come to my attention that you aren't using official company letterhead. This is unprofessional and reflects poorly on our corporate image. Please rectify this immediately.
That's based on a true story. A common one, surely. Unfortunately, people think of that as a story typical of "email", and treat the technology accordingly. But email is irrelevant. that's a story typical of "communication with soulless business husks".

speaking of technologies associated with cufflink-wearing motherfuckers: bluetooth headsets. If you're constantly talking on a phone, it's more efficient. However, they were indelibly marked with the reputation of making you "look like a douche". And that's a very honest statement; it makes you look like you're on of those people spending 8 megs per message trying to get your email to cosplay as custom stationery.
And to be fair, getting people to tolerate wearable technology is an uphill battle. How many generations was it before we decided to stop making fun of poeple for wearing glasses?

But *every. single. time.* someone brings up stack overflow, people come out of the woodwork to tell on themselves.
It has a reputation for gatekeeping, because it's meritocratic. People complain about needing points to act, but the fact that they don't understand why you need points on stackoverlow does not inspire confidence that they understand whatever else they intend to contribute to the record. People who refuse to assimilate but insist the world should bend to them cannot understand this.

It has a reputation for being toxic... with people who expect their authority to be axiomatic.
To these, it's not about writing the record. It's about building their self-image, relegating any external effects to at most an afterthought.

StackOverflow is about the development of software. But for imbeciles, development isn't real; it's a space where developers hang out.
Bluetooth headsets aren't viewed as a better solution to voice communication, they're a fashion accessory that signifies lifestyle.
e-mail isn't thought of as "a way to send text between machines", it's treated as "an official communication channel where your boss yells at you".

So of course people took to tiktok. rather than some decrepit talk-show skeletons disguising their financial investment in the abysmal status quo as frosty-cold political takes, TikTok entices you by putting good-looking women up front... all you have to do is mute whatever terrible music they're dancing to.
Its technology is actively trash. it's built on unapologetically, actively manipulating what you see. And its owned by a company with a history of doing so.
whenever someone self-censors with algospeak, they have given away their voice to their corporate overlord. If you indulge that sort of person, you give your attention to their corporate overlord, who in turn decides what they will allow you to say.
