Remember that there is a few things that used to work or be a priority that you removed or made worse:

1. Community ads. Some of these were great, and it was a great reward for the communities that worked well, and a great way to potentially increase engagement within less active communities.
2. More custom styling. I know this wasn't really scalable, but still -- if you asked me, the sites look quite sterile now.
3. Chat. IMHO it's the most neglected feature of all. Maybe it could use some attention? It works great for the TeX site (from the sites I engage with the only one really), but much less for most other sites.
