Bit premature (and quite frankly disingenuous) to say ~jobs and ads are dead. They haven’t been the sole focus of the team, but they continuously support the rewards of the site. And offer untapped potential in future. People are mostly still coming to SN to discuss, not to sell.

Seems to me more like ~AGORA is struggling to get traction on SN as a viable territory, and so makes sense why you’d consider an alternative platform at this time.
