Nah. Farther back in time and psychologically deeper. Its in my, very short, comment history.
They told their community their motivation was to combat the selfish monetization of digital sharecroppers and then they monetized their digital sharecroppers.
They are frauds and eventually frauds are exposed and they exposed themselves for $1.8billion.
And SO it collapsed.
But thanks for speaking for me. Albeit incorrectly, ironically.

It would help if you provide actual arguments to support your claims that SO was enshittified due to monetization efforts.
The selling of SO itself is no evidence that they’re actually making the experience worse.
You’re making bold claims of them being frauds, selling out the community, etc but provide nothing to support these claims.
