Except that you are new, the decrease in engagement and activities on Hive is undeniable.
Historically, I believe it went like this: people became frustrated with price action or downvotes in the middle of a crab or dumping market, and they decided to stop posting altogether.
For some, it may simply be that summer has arrived and they want to take time off to go on vacation; for others, I believe it may be related to real-life issues.
However, this is not limited to Hive.
The larger alt market has continued to stall slightly, with the exception of ETH, SOL, and XRP, but overall, the alt market has gained some decent pumps, but not the mind-blowing lumps we saw in 2021.
The funny thing is that the best time to build is when sentiment is low; you can capitalize on the sound of silence to make yourself heard. What I mean to say is that the best times to get yourself heard is when there is less noise.
In a month or two, people will be back fighting for the reward pool, getting involved in downvote battle, when they could actually be here at this moment, when the noise is minimal and make themselves big. Now is the best time to lock in, it's also the best time to find connections, make more friends and networking.
This is when there are no rat races or marathon to be run, it's just everyone running at their own pace, because activities are already reduced and you don't have to compete with someone else to make your voice heard.
Yes, I understand that there's market uncertainty, and this also makes people leave to chase the next big thing, everyone wants to pivot to where the money is big and they forget the golden rule: accumulate when the noise is minimal and give yourself a bigger edge of being very early
Don't Give up...
However, there could be other factors as well, I'm just thinking the most dominant factor is that the market hasn't pumped as much as the expectations that are there, but this is actually the edge. The market rewards people for loyalty and conviction, unfortunately to have three two can be very difficult, but people who are known to have these two are always rewarded when the time is right.
If you're out there, now is the time to be very active on Hive, in two months time, I want to believe it'll already be too late
