Why is Microsoft Rewards limiting how much I can earn?

I've been doing microsoft rewards for around 2 years and I've gotten consistent points, but since last month Microsoft has been slowly degrading how many points I can get.

For example, they've been only giving 1 POINT now for each task I do instead of 10 points, basically no monthly punch cards, and they just deleted my edge search points.

Is this on purpose to limit how many points older accounts with more points can get?

(I dont want a "Thank you for your opinion, we are going to look into this issue" robot response please)

    i'm not getting points for searches at all, not on desktop, not on mobile. kind of stupid to take away the only incentive to use this buggy search engine.

    808,000 lifetime points user. Started at the beginning. The changes have made it a worthless use of my time to use a browser that is geared towards click ads, search results that favor business links, and their AI as the only way to get any relevant search results. Google is just as bad. Time to give Mozilla a look again.

    Disappointing that they have changed the point structure and have buried the Rewards Page deeper within your account page. Microsoft should be transparent with their decision to change the program and give people a reason to continue. This is frustrating and changes my decision on which web browser to use. Google Maps is still the standard and my go to for directions and identifying locations. Google once again looks good to me.

    It was fun getting points in different categories and using the points as they are earned.

    In the past month, points going from 10 down to 1 is hardly worth my time.
