I do wonder if Valve recently changed the algorithm's weighting

we're seeing is growing pains as they tune it. Even so, it still
shouldn't be the customers who pay the price for their problems.

That sounds quite plausible so even if they tested what a more tuned algorithm would do then things can always go unnoticed until they roll it out live. Still I would hope they did better than when the new and improved battle rigging algorithm for World of Tanks was put into action. The result, several thousand users were banned and Wargaming had to admit, oh that was a mistake. I'd like to say it was a one off but they had a habit of seemingly chucking things out there without actually testing them.
As for the ADL, I forgot they were even still going and personally I don't trust an organisation that seem to have a habit of trying to conflate antisemitism with any criticism of Israel.
