Saw it on on discord but this could have massive implications but it's probably not, I don't think corsair even cares about GH but probably does know it now due to seeing drop's business purchases. However if they do influence gh it may do some serious damage to the platform. I hope that gh can keep moving on despite this, but this probably is nothing.
Corsair didn't purchase drop to take control over geekhack. Drop still has a brand/mainstream appeal in the holy thock, pe foam, hipyo tech normie areas that most people who build keyboards interact with, and has assets/experience that could be useful for corsair to build a "premium" line of keyboards for that audience. Their target audience is definitely not a niche group of people who know a lot about keyboards on an old forum that some people find confusing to use. So I feel that it might be another drop situation, where they just don't do anything to the platform because they know of the backlash/not the target audience.
My main concern is corsair trying to monetize this platform, by putting ads and using the personal data to personalize those ads which could ruin the user experience of the platform without an adblock. However this may be me fearmongering. From a business perspective, I wouldn't touch a platform that would just die if any changes were made to it, to squeeze out a very limited amount of money from a small group that would be more trouble and money than it's worth to change it in the first place (however businesses often never focus on the long term so be cautious)
I think we should be very cautious and push back when necessary, but I feel that it's unlikely that something will happen to the Geekhack. Would like to know other people's thoughts on this.
