Yeah, and 1. Even in 2018 there was only like 25% more searches compared to the 2012 and 2025 peak of 100% more 2. TechCrunch covered #deletefacebook when that happened anyways 3. 2012 was “The Year Facebook Finally Tried to Make Some Money”. I don’t see what people mean by “not doing justice”, as TechCrunch seems to be covering how to delete Facebook when people want to delete Facebook.
Yeah. I don't disagree with that. But I think it's rather more about (from what I can see in the original comment) not the techcrunch media coverage, but the idea that techcrunch runs lots of articles about meta and Facebook, not all of them aimed at the problems with the platform and there is no cohesion (in each of these posts), explaining each time they have before given info on leaving Facebook and the important events that lead them to do so.
The article doesn't really start off with a "haven't we been here before", or anything acknowledging what came before. Perhaps that's their complaint.
