I've said that you don't need much of the power to be hive user, and it's still true, you can still post, be a member of community etc. Is there relation between this truth and decreasing over years activity in governance, maybe? Or maybe it's overall trend, and network "heat" mostly goes down with time, just cause new stuff is being created, and most of the projects slowly die, while new projects are created, and people don't want to join old projects. Some people believe that 99% projects in crypto will fail.

Not sure how ironic truth is, but I guess it is by default. Probably I discussed same governance problems back then growing, much less visible back then, but now you need just few seconds to look at proposals and see that it's all joke.
