Why is Brilliant sunsetting the community page?

This basically removes all interaction between community members. How can people learn better if they have no interaction with others? Brilliant's courses are great and understandable, but sometimes we want to dive deeper into a concept by discussing it with the community. This decision they've made eliminates that aspect of Brilliant that so many of us have loved: the easily accessible discussion with experts and amateurs alike. Younger people using Brilliant who have a hard time understanding even the explanations to problems will be put off by this. Also, ending community solutions for the daily puzzles will make them harder to understand. Often the Brilliant staff solution is unintelligible without puzzling it out for 10 minutes, while a community solution shows an elegant animation or picture, getting to the heart of the problem without the advanced algebraic techniques. Brilliant has mentioned that they will most likely add community features back in the coming years. While I wish they hadn't gotten rid of them in the first place, I am glad to see they understand the value of open community discussion. Make it quick, Brilliant, make it quick.
