It seems dire, but I'm also hopeful in the recent organizational shift. I'm not aware of many other sites moving to a community-run model, & if they can build out enough runway I'm excited to see what it might look like.

I've run into a variant of this: Beer. Citrus is a popular adjunct flavoring for IPAs and other hopped beers. Sometimes it's obvious, a grapefruit shandy is going to have grapefruit in it; but I've also had beers labeled some
