The feature has sparked strong reactions, with some users threatening to abandon the platform over concerns about privacy and control. Critics argue the change could push engagement toward paid subscriptions, raising questions about how social media companies balance user safety with monetization. For those frustrated by invasive interactions, the update may offer a long-awaited solution—but not without trade-offs.
