It’s a human thing, this is all social media. It’ll happen here as well if enough people join a conversation and especially if the userbase expands. Everyone just want to have their say/get attention without checking the other comments.
I’d like to hear from people who read more on those devices.
I started reading books electronically on my Palm Pilot III, later a Palm V, then a SONY Clie. I loved the convenience of it, especially because I didn’t have the shelf space for all my books at home and I’m into 800+page fantasy books that are a hassle to carry around. After reading on PDAs anything is a luxury. These days I read on my smartphone when out and 11inch iPad at home. It’s important to manage display brightness though to not tire the eyes, unlike eInk which depends on ambient light.
I generally use Google play books, it syncs across devices and have translation which is good as I started reading French books. But these features are also available on other readers like Kindle.
Interestingly I once worked on an eInk reader for a book chain competing with Amazon. I didn’t get any freebie though.

Yeah, I recently moved from Authy to 2FAS, took about an hour moving everything over. It can do cloud backup and export/import files manually as well.
Starting maps like this is hard. I remember many years earlier when Google maps was new and disastrous, sending massive truck detours through small sleepy villages and encouraging inattentive driver to drive into duck ponds. Then when Apple released their maps Google already had 7 years of improving theirs, and they had made good use of that time.
It was a mistake not allocating more resources (/spending) to improving it sooner after the release turned out so badly. They always move slowly with their projects. Even now their new map updates are spectacular but the mapping vehicle fleet seems too small and is taking a long time.
I have an iPhone and an iPad. My philosophy is to use services that work on both iOS and Android, rather than just one. So Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Contacts, Dropbox (I got 10GB free, using around 20% for notes and documents) with Cryptomator, OneDrive for pictures, Signal, WhatsApp, 2FAS Auth, Bitwarden and Joplin for notes. I can swap between an iOS and Android phone in 30min and have a few times as I enjoy both.
I don’t have any subscription apps by choice.
In my home I have a little server running PiHole, homebridge and Home Assistant, this way I have access to smart switches/thermometers from any OS.
On my phone I have notifications disabled for most apps, including social media. Only enabled for messaging apps, authentication apps, etc.
There was no blowup, Reddit both received more funding and their advertising earnings increased. A 21% revenue growth in 2023, I’d say also active user growth but I’m not entirely sure.
