Probably would’ve made sense not to kill his user base before trying to build a product that requires a large user base to be useful.

That's just what a small mind would think. Of course business genius knows better. What better way to build a globally respected brand than to turn your platform into a far right cesspool.

Would've been fine if he was doing that while riding high off of VC funding. You can try to pivot to new features that way. He's riding on bank debt that needs to be serviced, however. That means he needs to be both profitable and somehow develop a service that will capture market share. It's not going to happen.
