The data is not back yet, but some of the power users left. It’s said only 1% of users submit posts, and if they leave the rest of the community stagnates. Many mods left, which means spam and reposts and low quality content will fill the site. It’s going downhill, how fast is up for debate.

They had better IPO ASAP. Luckily for them, investors are morons.

True. I don’t think it’s going to plummet tomorrow but I think you’ll see steady downturn all starting around July 1.
