      Yes. Mods form a very important minority.

      I’ve seen statistics showing that most of the traffic returned. I wonder, how long will that last without good mods?

          I’m not sure. Normally, most users would come back as you describe. But if the lack of mods gets too serious, then most users will begin to get bored or annoyed. If other platforms scale up well, boredom translates into “I heard about…”

      I miss the days when actual, breaking news would be on the front page almost immediately. It hasn’t been that way for years…

      It’s funny, I don’t miss it at all.

      Is not just age (like im in my late teens and still gone to kbin) but generally, some people have not really taken action about stuff that doesnt affect them i think you are right about that… For me, i did not use 3rd party apps, really just used mobile site (eww i know. On light mode too can u believe it?) but bc of finding out what was going on it would just be sad to stay there. Especially how they lied about Christian! A fellow Canadian! But some ppl didnt really read much about what happened or just werent concerned cause they did not use those apps, so maybe they found it easy to ignore…
