I'm not sure the amount or willingness of sources has changed that much since the AOL acquisition though it is possible.
But there is definitely a huge selection bias of contributors. People love to disclose when they invested in the hot startup and neglect to mention their big mistakes retroactively.
I suspect the biggest reason for the drop is just a smaller team and less commitment like the OP said. There has been a lot of headcount flux at TC for awhile and even more so since the AOL deal.
