The way I see it is thus -

This is Hubski:

A small seedling of great content, conversation and discussion on the internet. A beautiful, but fragile place.

If hubski were to be bought out at this point, it would look like this:

Unless this community were left to grow uninhibited (unlikely), attempts to "improve the hubski experience" to "attract a wider client base" or "streamline the experience" would create a dry-up of the good content, and a destruction of the community here.
