It's a big problem with social knowledge platforms, like Wikipedia and Stackoverflow.

First they run around and try to find people who create content for them.

Then they have enough content and try to raise the bar to only allow quality content, whatever that means. Later the people who helped to make the platform successful by creating content, get (rightfully) angry.

I already talked ten years ago with many smart people about this problem, when Wikipedia went downhill (at least in Germany). Guess no one came up with a solution in all these years :/
