It must sound like a very otherworldly thing to say - Stack Exchange losing its momentum, fire, and even going down the pits, but do not fool yourself by thinking just because the number of people potentially leaving this site due to their issues with the current affair of events, being less than 1%, will not change a thing.

Everything's going to change.

The world as we know it is controlled by far less than 1% of Earth's total population. Look how that's been going. We have a system, and you can't lift a finger (everything's governed by money). If those people lifted their hands in the air and said "we've had enough", no system will exist.

Stack Exchange isn't a deity. It's your every-day company across the street that shares its success thanks to its users, and most importantly - the ones who're so intoxicated into their amazing idea, that they'd be willing to expand it into the tangible reality as part of their own violtiion. Those people are the moderators. Those people, who crave to add their community to Stack Exchange, and like a soldier try to push it to the top, by promoting to pass all those "beta" label requirements to their peers. They are the driving force. Infected by this ideal, they push their way along the ladder, gaining new permissions, making them feel even more special, until they reach the pillar.

What pillar? The company's governed by its products - the users. They simply have to turn their original idea into multiple profitable ones, and you get a thriving self-driven business.

We're all here because we're good people. We want to help others. We want to build a repository of all possible questions and answers - a great idea. But you need to realize that every effort you pour out of your soul, you pour into the bowls of this company. And as a company, they profit out of you.

If you as a person, even for a second believe you've been abused, especially if you're the one that made this site become what it is - simply stop being their patriot. There are tons of other companies out there who'd welcome you in with open arms, and even bargain with you just to use them.

Often the biggest things in our world, are the most fragile.
