1. People have lower tolerance for jerks.

2. A few bad apples can spoil a group.

3. Maintaining a group is a thankless job.

4. Third places are money making establishments now rather than community focused. So people save up to go to the ones that they'll remember. So there's competing money for these attractions, and the experience undergoes enshitification.

Solutions?

- lower the cost of community space so more people can enjoy them.

- social etiquette needs be enforced through culture. Conformity has its benefits. We don't need planes to land because Johnny had too much to drink.
