While I'm happy for the people who made a lot of money in this transaction, I always read these announcements with a bit of angst.
From a user point of view, I expect this to go like Reddit has, for example. Everyone building that value saw high use value, returns on their investment in the form of information they need, lean, easy to find, high signal to noise.
Now there is a debt to be paid. The new owner needs to extract the purchase price, and whatever additional additional returns they intend. Everything costs something.

So what will it be?
Subscription access?
Less favorable signal to noise?
