>TF2 got destroyed due to matchmaking killing of community servers
Community servers are still there. I can still pretty much always find a full server on whatever map I feel like playing on at the time.

This has been my experience as well. I don’t even mind their matchmaking thing if I’m feeling lazy and want to wind up in a particular vanilla map set without thinking too hard.
The custom maps and community servers are as strong as ever, IMO. Check out the player statistics on steam.

Those are very misleading. The teamwork.tf stats show a lot fewer players (still a decent number) actually playing on servers, and you can verify those by adding up the player counts on servers manually.
When did you do that last time? TF2 got destroyed due to matchmaking killing of community servers and is a void of hat farming bots by now. Valve did too little too late for TF2.
