Could this be the ramifications of AI though? (edit: I mean, in light of StackOverflow also changing their policies recently)

Not only are the LLMs like GPT effectively doing scraping like never before, without any legal oversight, AI is also automating and causing much more pressure on those social sites.

The future is bleak, LLMs are going to destroy what little "Far West" we still had and turn all the open sites into even more walled gardens.

So far AI is just creating bullshit art, and destroying the open internet.
