Looks it to me! My traffic suddenly dropped off a cliff and is running at a fifth of what it was. It happened overnight, not as a trend. I’ve never experienced anything like it in ten years of blogging.
Even taking into account the covid year surge and drop off this is extraordinary. It coincides with the arrival of Blaze, a marketing tool they want you to pay for.

Thanks for sharing the post. I hope WP realises that their users are what makes them money and stops trying to ruin this platform due to greed.
You’re welcome Pooj. It’s an important issue. I hope so too. But greed makes people blind.
