They are trying to be old Reddit? I don’t think there is the demand.

Too many competing services, they don’t have anything that distinguishes themselves, and also took a reputation hit. And many super users there left over mismanagement.

Too many hurdles if good management, and their management sucks

Edit: the only thing that gives them value is their old pages; a makeover would at minimum, hamper that I think
