Perhaps the internet being saturated by the general global public who are very tribal and huddle around their bubble sites is the root cause here. Google, Facebook,etc... are just reacting. People huddle around HN for example like they do on reddit,fb, insta, telegram,discord,vk,yt,bilibili,etc... Before the mobile users' eternal september, I used to find myself searching for sites to hang out at. I can't remember the last time I signed up to a sight to commune with users. Especially, now I am very careful because there are a lot of bad actors and it's impossible to actually be pseudonymous. TLD's were supposed to help with this over commercialization of the internet. .com and .co were supposed to be exclusive to commerical sites, all the blogs,forums,etc... were supposed to be on .org and .net, these days a TLD is like a vanity license plate.
