    I call bullshit. AI didn’t eat their user growth.

    They sold out the users, making the experience objectively worse. They turned the screws until many of the positive, helpful users left. They became hyper-toxic; now, no one wants to be there, even for the niche communities. They’re moderating like they’re at war with any half-decent human being, and now they’ve locked down the free/easy access, ruining the one remaining marketing trick they had (google search results)
