I've read so many hobbies are currently completely reliant on that platform, and no one is even slugging a solution. That's going to be how it gets normalized. Think of all the people that use it for D&D alone. Then think of how many hobbies there are out there.
One of my local gaming shops has some 40k stuff and other tabletop games that I was interested in checking out and matching up with some other people. Asked him about a schedule, or what times. He just pointed me to a QR code and how I needed to download Discord on my cell phone.
I agree with you. And, I've experienced a restaurant that only allowed you to view their menu if you followed them on Facebook. But, I don't, and never had a FB. I'm still surprised how willingly people have put all their eggs in one basket.
There's too many people that think that shit is normal, and it's not normal.

Said Thanks, but no thanks and left.

One of my favorite pastimes now is to tell people I don't have Fecesbook or social media. Watching them short circuit is something else.
I get irritated that people text me to ask for my snap, or WhatsApp. Which I'm not doing. Like, you just reached me. Share it already!
I've told all my associates there are only 3 ways to reach me. Call. Text. Email.
If those don't work, then I have no business with them.
