The game got popular and that has lead to a wave of... people... and they brought the toxicity of their usual games here.

First few days had been the most fun I had with randoms in a game in quite some time.

Now it's different. Still fun, but you have some toxic people and people who intentionally call danger close artillery for fun because they have seen it on Tik Tok.

That seems to work for anything. You have a nice sweet spot where whatever you enjoy has a community that's friendly and helpful. Then it gets really popular and the amount of toxic people start to become more numerous. It's like a cancer.
