It is everything else you posted based on a number which you are quite unlikely to know the reality of which I've suggested is erroneous. I still believe that to be true.

I did exactly this. The numbers haven't really changed. That huge list has the post dates in it and I even included the nubmers broken out so you wouldn't have to count.

At what point do you think there was actually a change in the behavior? April 1 (certainly not in the summer window)? July 1? July 15? August 1? August 15?
Name a date where things changed. It is not hard to look at the actual posts and determine if there is something to such claims.
For me (or anyone) to change behavior based on revenue models we'd have to know when the revenue numbers changed, right? When do you believe that happened? I've asked that now a few times because that seems to be the crux of your claim: There has been a noticeable difference in posting behavior based on lowered revenue.

I included both of those in my counts.
I won't argue that more posts cover CCs now than 1 or 3 years ago. That's quite clear. But there has not been a change in the past few months. And any supposed link to ad revenue v CC post frequencies is purely imagined.
