          The numbers that matter are $$

          The issues right now probably won’t affect the money for a while

          Mods/users/tools leaving --> quality drop --> usage drop –> $$ drop

            they have bots, AI, and astroturfing, their numbers will be fine despite quality having gone downhill for some time

              Yeah, for a while corpos have their finger into astroturfing the shit out of almost every product. At some point it will have barely any user, but bots and corpo accounts.

        They’re downward spiral is by this point inevitable. It takes time for a site to fully die and even the the URL usually still resolves, kinda like now MySpace and digg are still around in some form but totally irrelevant
