For me it's how explicitly for-profit it has become. This manifests in a lot of things like:

rampant advertisements
dark patterns to get the users hooked
you literally cannot use the mobile site because it nudges you to install the app at all times
new UI is garbage
misinformation is freely allowed to fester to not drive down revenue

It has pretty much become like Facebook and it really sucks.
