It's just about a trend of people online turning off voice chat features.

Thanks for letting me not read the article.

I don't like voice chat because I don't want to hear people mouthbreathing and stuttering and stumbling just to say stuff they have not put any thought into. It's a bad time being forced to listen to verbal diarrhea.

So "strange happening" = people not wanting to listen to racist, sexist etc abuse from strangers on the internet? Very strange, indeed!
