I think Covid ended up killing off what little remained of the community on Feabie. Events were already starting to dry up before, particularly compared to the mid-2010s, where they were plentiful, but once 2020 rolled around, they all but vanished off the site.

>Simps
Simping for girls in the modern dating climate is basically a variant of the prisoner's dilemma. If all men were to simultaneously stop treating women like goddesses, then the "Content creation" market would all but dry up overnight, and they'd be on more equal footing in terms of dating.
