I'm sorry but I don't really understand the thought process here.
With finn we had zero meaningful changes from 2019 to 2021, which is basically when Jason took over. I only remember 1.5x credits events and maybe a few awards here and there.
Not to talk about the last months that finn was in charge, because the forum was not even accessible during HOURS every day.
With Jason we already had an attempt to migrate to ipb4 (which didn't really take off, but hey, it's better to try than to never do), revamped trust scan, brand new auth, signature marketplace, vouches, custom css and several bugfixes.
Pretty sure I am even missing things to mention, but you get the idea. I don't really see how are these empty promises.
