It’s 100% calculated. The controllers of glassdoor decided to kill the site, likely persuaded with money, coercion or both.
Exit strategy? “I got what I wanted out of it, so I may as well take the rubber mask off.”
Perhaps not to destroy it but to make a new business model, selling the ability to get names for lawsuit purposes, and rather than users are going after a profitable extortion racket like yelp did where in exchange for a one time (or even monthly) fee will protect your business from bad reviews.
That’s my guess, i couldn’t read the article (paywall)
