Combined with the fee increase to 10%, this seems like an effort to boost profitability for an IPO.

Unfortunate that the plan is to go public. Ideally the people who run it would be valued as stewards and curators instead of interchangeable cogs.
I hope to see one of these DIY platforms eventually become a cooperative.
