They "won" but the company value further dropped and I don't think it will recover, it will have dropped further since this cut.
Their entire power-user base has abandoned the site, moderation has collapsed since nobody really wants to do it anymore, and what is now up there is just... Ticking along.
This is not a healthy situation. There's no vibrance. There's no desire to do anything creative because nobody wants to spend creative energy on these fuckbags.
It's a literal shell now. Sites do not do well when they become this. There is nowhere positive for it to go. Even /r/iama is completely gone, mods all quit and shut down external websites that were used for scheduling and organising. They just allow whatever on there now and refuse to solicit celebs etc.
