numbers speak for themselves
Unfortunately from what I can tell the numbers haven't really changed either way after the last hard fork. Continuation of the same downward trend on most metrics, which makes it all very "ho hum".
The one clear change in terms of numbers is a modest increase in the amount of powering up. I'm not sure what to make of that beyond the observation. If there are any indirect effects, they're not obvious.
