Why is my turntable's frequency response now dropping off?

Yes, before posting my original post, I read online about temperature changes being able to change the frequency response, and I came across this chart, but I was honestly very skeptical, like I wrote in my original post, since there's so much BS floating around online in the audio world.

Temperature changes can also require a minor change in tracking force sometimes, at least in my experience. I think there was a paper about it on some Japanese site

My indoor temperature is about 22-23 in winter and at most 24-25 on a hot summer day, so not much of a problem
