The main reason people don't go is that they feel there is no point in going. Sure, you will meet new people or people you may have interacted with but it's just that. I prefer to use that money to go somewhere with my friends or family to be honest.

During the first hivefests, besides the fact that more people joined i also caught myself looking at how i can go and once i was about to buy tickets but last moment i decided not to. Everyone was really excited about meeting some people but above all, excited about Hive.

Nowadays, we are witnessing some of the effects of the issues we had and continue to have for many years. As a result, most people are out, others are inactive and don't really care anymore, there are a few projects going, most of which are taking advantage of the dhf. Thus, there is no excitement anymore for the vast majority of people. I really hope for some change
