Right now I think we are growing, though people have definitely been leaving over the last few years. I also think Eliezer has not had amazing experiences with the new LW, and there are some other people who showed up and would probably leave again if things don’t change in some way. On net I think we are strongly in the green, but I still think we are missing out on some really good and core people.
I’m thinking of it as “we’re growing, but on credit.” People are trying it out because they’ve heard enough interesting things to give it a go again, but it hasn’t hit something like genuine profitability.
