No doubt, and it wasn't meant as a potshot, although perhaps it came across too sarcastically; anyone that can build an audience of that size, especially with paid users as a portion, is doing something right. I wrestle with free user bases barely 20% of that, and growth is harder to achieve that most people think.

Serious question here: what portion of the audience base is using this because of you personally? Not that you know 30k people, but perhaps a large part came because of your connections. Relatedly, how many of them might leave if they saw it changing hands to someone they didn't know (or perhaps everyone would cheer because someone with more time for new features was taking over)???
