For me, it has been slowly turning into a zombie site ever since they hid vote counts, which made it possible for bad actors to game the vote system without anybody being able to see it. When you can't see the hundreds of downvotes on a post signalling dissent or dislike, it becomes easier to unleash bots and minions to inflate your astroturfing.
