the real cash cow is the content. with an IPO looming, the only concern is how best to monitize all of the free work that has been done for them over the years. that is all. whatever "community" BS that has been fed from corporate to the userbase(*) has been laid bare as a farce.
(*) there may have been a time early on when the feeling of actual community existed at a coporate level and extended to the userbase, but I can assure you that was strangled in the cradle as quickly as possible.
