Went to my favorite bakery downtown and noticed the sourdough starter has changed

I stopped into Beignet Bros Bakery in New Orleans last weekend for my usual Saturday croissant. But their sourdough loaf had this weird tangy taste that wasn't there a year ago. I asked the new baker and he said they switched from a 20 year old starter to a quicker one to speed up production. Has anyone else noticed bakeries cutting corners like this lately?

I used to think people were overreacting but yeah that actually does change the whole loaf.

Twenty years of sourdough culture just tossed for profit?
