I don't think that new arrivals knocking down the ladder is the problem at all. This is not a 'club trying to remain too clubby'. It's more or less a thing that had viral appeal due to slight clubbyness, and has not been able to attract major content creators. Podcasters are staying away because they can't get paid. The remaining content just isn't very good, and without the ability to 'time lapse' like every other platform (YouTube, TikTok) it means we have to struggle through the 99% garbage to get to the 1% 'good stuff' whereas TT and YT algorithms take care of that for us. If Elon Musk stayed on, or, they were able to consistently get key industry insiders with promoted talks, then it 'might work'. In short, the product just isn't that great, and what was originally appealing isn't working at any kind of scale. Given the amount of money they've raised, and that the writing has been on the wall for some time, I'm really finding it odd they haven't secured much more consistently better content. At very least, have 'serious investors' and 'media industry insiders' with known time-slots. This sounds crazy but literally get Oprah a show, were she has 'open and honest, live conversations'. None of us would like that but a billion people would. They'd have to pay her a fortune... but they're at that level. Remember when YouTube sponsored presidential debates? That.
