While I think you car analogy is flawed, maybe a bus analogy would be better?
Anyway, I think the biggest complaint is really about what the site was, what it was for, and now what he’s done to the site to destroy all of that. It’s not the first time something with a lot of users, readers, fans, etc absolutely hated when a new direction or ownership of a company ruined everything they loved about the company.
People have spent YEARS of their lives on that site. It wasn’t my main jam, easy to delete for me, but it was a source of news and what’s happening right now. But for some people, especially those with a following, it was their main voice and this dumb billionaire manbaby is just destroying it.
