• I am having a tough time figuring out what is happening

I know what is happening, but not why and why now?
Four years after the introduction is Steemit.
Steemit is online since 2016. The communities should have been introduced with it.
Or at least soon after the introduction of Steemit.
The majority of the users already left (and many people still leaving) Steemit and the Steem blockchain. Nowadays the number of daily active users is around 23-31 000, but there are more than 1.3 million Steem accounts. Thousands (nowadays 8284-14 204) of posts are being created every day, but nowadays the average number of comments per post is only 1-3. Many posts do not even get any comments. Most of the comments are bot comments, and even if people write comments, they mostly write bot, bot-like, spam, spam-like comments. So sad. To be honest, Steemit and the Steem blockchain is currently the worst social network, which I have seen so far.
