Yes, that is because the big whales on this platform are not trying to entice influencers to bring people here. It used to be that a ton of people on alt media would give formerly steemit and now hive plugs to bring their audience here because content creators were rewarded for posting here and getting an audience here. Now, no one ever talks about HIVE and no Buzz means a small number of bees. Until the people who decide what trends on here start upvoting people that draw people here from other platforms this place, though awesome will continue to lose numbers of users. There is very little content that is worthwhile being posted to this platform and very little that is unique to the platform. I can find photos on many platforms and I can find a ton of online games that have crypto associated with them. The future of this platform should be replacing YouTube and facebook by supporting content creators that can bring their audience away from those places and to hive.
