once parasite like this finds a way to attach itself to a host, it is surprisingly hard to get rid off it. it is basically prisoner's dilemma, if everyone leaves, you all won, but if it is just you who leave, you will lose compared to others. no one wants to be the first to leave and risk losing.

Just like lots more parasitic parts of society that depend on the network effect. Amazon, Facebook, political parties, uber etc etc.
