The folks I want to be around—smart, authentic, thoughtful—tend to be far more repulsed by bad UX than trolls are, so when the owners of a community start doing trashy stuff like popups/login walls and aggressively pushing their app, the cool people just leave.
Trolls don't care. They have no taste, and a cockroach-esque indifference to hostile environments, so they're the ones who remain.
