Your original post was about a trend of users moving to private communities. I don't see why revenues and valuation matter for this?


No, my original comment was about major providers shifting to non-public channels.

G+, or its G-Suite successors, still exists, but as closed networks. Similarly Yahoo Groups.

In looking at G+ Community size, open vs. closed participation was a huge factor in membership. Simply open vs. closed (mod approved) membership had a substantial impact:

Yes.
