Definitely, but it does seem like they are making their product worse in order to stay flat on revenue. Eventually might they reach a tipping point where the product is no longer better than alternatives and everyone leaves in mass? This seems like an especially big concern for a social network where network effects are so big.

I do wonder if they practice and prepare for that case - because the Digg social network failed so quickly (within about 96 hours), I expect they want to avoid the same fate.
