I would have loved this option like 10 years ago – when it wasn't clear what a toxic company facebook is.

It was pretty clear what a toxic company facebook was 10 years ago. I'd say it was already becoming increasingly clear by the time The Social Network released in 2010.

Would've caught zero traction then lol. You can only do this if you have a very established and dedicated userbase already. Trying this from scratch with little users is a death sentence.
