They are very cunning. They do it in waves. Unlike yootoob, which makes it atrocious design experiments unexpectedly and forces it on everyone at once, and sometimes they go back (maybe too many problem reports, and such). Reeddoot, instead just does it in waves: first small portion of users, then they wait, until initial screams are dismissed as 'a few users got affected, must be a random glitch/bug'. After it is calm again, then the next part of users is affected. same thing happens. And they use this tactic until majority are affected, and last resisters are already seen as 'technophobes', 'special snowflakes', 'grampas', 'exotic OS users', etc They boil users slowly. Mark my words - reeddoot will come to phone numbers being obligatory, then IDs being obligatory, then giving away your info to Law authorities, then to secret services, finally might end up with just selling it to any criminal clan.
