When I pointed that authors are dwindling, that posts and comments are mostly spam or completely formulaic noise, and that the reward pool is stagnating in terms of growth, to the highest rewarded author on here, edicted, he called me cynical for showing concern and tried to mock me for saying that essentially hive is splinterlands by categorizing usage as "essentially" was ironic. The bulls can't see shortcomings or trouble, seems they only have stomach for "infinite resources" and hyping about abundance so don't expect anything to change, the trend will continue.
