It's a weird decision to further monetize access to a platform that's hemorrhaging users and engagement.

You don’t get it. Because there’s less and less they need to squeeze them even further!

It's weird to you cause you're not a mega-brain CEO.. if revenue drops, you raise the prices, obviously.
