I think it hasn’t ‘happened’ or ‘not happened’, I think it began losing its way and losing its identity years ago, but I think what we have seen recently is a big acceleration of that process, and for many the straw that broke the camels back was the recent changes and toxic behavior of the ceo and pr team
I agree that saying ‘risks losing its identity’ makes it sound like it is hypothetical and in the future which is not accurate.
I figure they're trying to say they risk losing their user base, of which they only lost about 3%. But yeah it's identity began to transition to it's lesser form of today when they launched the official app, back in 2016.
