I don't think so. StackOverflow itself didn't really change for any of that period. Any changes in users must have been due to external factors.

hmm, I got rid of WhatsApp the day it was sold to Facebook and never touched it since. I don't think anything in the app changed that day.

You think a significant number of people started boycotting SO after the sale?

		I'd disagree that the site wasn't changing. I think they were already trying to sideline job portal possibilities because it wasn't making a high enough worth calculation compared to entirely unrealized estimates. However my reaction to changes was forgiving for the old firm while feeling transactional was basically doom to my using the site as I didn't really need anything from interactions.
