The thing is in most cases they aren't doing the opposite of what users want. A disappointing high number of users are perfectly fine with subscriptions and microtransactions. The most popular games are all riddled with that shit.
Because the powers pulling in the negative direction has a much easier job than the powers pulling in a positive direction. The negative powers just has to play to peoples stupidity, fear and hatred. Simple black and white "solutions" (ie. just fault the outgroups for everything).
The positive powers have to stick to complex and often longterm solutions which requires effort and thought for people to understand the benefits of.
I lost interest in The Boys a couple of episodes into season 4. It just went nowhere and had done so for too long, so it just got stale to me. I have absolutely no interest in any spin-offs, which only makes the show become what it satirised.

I don't think it has plateaued, the reasons they give for why it should have done so makes no sense. The main problem being their metholodigy of spotting AI created content which is highly dubious. The more straightforward explanation is that AI created content has become more difficult to spot, especially for the tool that the researchers used.
No, the things that are happening in the US right now is not really comparable to things happening in any other Western democracy. All countries have their issues, but this blatant fascist takeover occurring in the US right now is quite unique.
Because they control the stream of disinformation to their voters. Their voters don't actually live in the real world, but in a fantasy scenario dreamed up by Republican talking heads.
We know why it is happening. We also know the solution, and it is not peaceful.
