Honest question, but what is the end-goal of Xtrabytes?

I got an alert on Telegram from the XBY TG group which is what compelled me to come on Bitcointalk to check, but honestly i've forgotten all about Xtrabytes. I remember it was worth so much back in 2017, but now $5 can easily get you 10k XBY and the volume is near non-existent. Is there some sort of goal that Xtrabytes is aiming for at this point? Also I remember all those guys that were vehemently defending XBY, did they give up on the project or what happened to them? I think the main reason I lost interest is that I had a bunch of profitable ventures+joined a bunch of different communities since I was interested in XBY years ago, but now coming back to look at it the project seems like it's on its deathbed

Also whatever happened to the mods? I can't remember the guy's name, but there was a Reddit mod who used to hang out on Bitcointalk and heavily defend the project, and preached about him having credibility in the Bitcointalk community, is that guy still around? Not even "fudding" the project at this point, but what happened to everyone that used to support this project, and what is XBY even aiming for at this point?

Well, either way, I do wish you guys the best of luck. It's probably a good idea to try to promote XBY more if you guys are still working on it btw, since I doubt many people have even heard of XBY these days

There where some announcements back then about the whole team jumping ship after from what I got from the messages was an disagreement with the lead developer, must have been some major disagreement if all people decide to leave at once. Based on their website it was around 30ish people in the team.

Probaly whats now going on is the same story all over again, some community members try to salvage their losses by hyping up this thing again. But the whole economics are screwed and all actions taken so far by the team only shows that they are in it for the reason above. Swap, with very short timelines leaving out everyone that ever invested into the project and actively kicking out all people that raise questions from their discord.

They also blocked out all former teammembers which from what I believe would have been a helpfull resource to them.

So again all signals point towards the fact that Zoltan and his new 3 sockpuppets are trying to get more money in their own pockets.
