For now, it's still a very good way to find reviews and rundowns that were (probably) written by real humans, and for the more niche communities it's often still the only community with a critical mass of people participating. Its content is a resource that was created by the users, and I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face.
Now that said, I never post anything there anymore, and I never browse without adblock, and I refuse to download their garbage app. It's a read-only resource for me now, and I'll survive just fine if it locks itself down completely.
