Yep, everything I can see, from my own tools to those of others on the various stats sites and posts is that we've lost 90% of the people we had in 2017-2020.

Big swath cut when the hard forkening away from steem to hive happened, and I guess the plandemic ending and people going back outside killed the rest?

I dont know, but the numbers of "dead followers" are incredibly consistent at about ten percent remaining in the last month as posters (expands if you do voters and non-posters, for longer months but still, the line goes down on this chart overall)

Back in the 20-late teens, we had 30K active daily posters, now Im seeing numbers like 3K. That 10% number is everywhere I look.

Which means, we might as well turn it off, OR, try to revive it and find more people like the 10% that stuck it out. Not sure yet which is the right answer, but by releasing tools and apps, I'm sort of giving it one last go to see if we can bring any kind of crowd back here at all.

We just have to try some new things and do them a bit differently.
