It's funny how this whole debacle played out exactly the same as the lifecycle of old internet forums from the 2000s. After gaining significant traction, and realizing how hard the moderation and monetization problem is, the original owners would always sell out to the most active troll who was willing to take over financial responsibility for it. Then the inevitable downfall of enshittification occurs. It happened to 4chan, and many many other smalller communities.

You don't like it? Fine, stay away. It's most likely better that way. You aren't missed. I almost feel like writing positively about it should be avoided. Simply to keep it as decent as it is.
