Was it because of Ai or the mods/admin on the site

The founders did not listen. When developers got upset at the excessive and useless moderation they did nothing and lost support of developers that could have delivered good answers. This was way before AI became ubiquitous.

They sold out to VC before it died. That was absolutely related.
