After seven years on Hive/Steem, the drop in votes value is tragic for me, and the poor response from just ten or so whales that run this whole show who used to upvote but now don't bother, has driven me away from posting much any more.

I feel you... Personally, I’ve noticed a growing sense of demotivation around the platform lately. Engagement levels have dropped drastically. Just looking at the trending page, it honestly feels like a ghost town. If newcomers or outside visitors were to take a peek, I imagine many would be turned off from joining. It almost looks fake, some posts are earning $40 or even $80, yet the comment sections often have 0, 1, or maybe 4 replies. It doesn’t look like those posts were actually upvoted by hundreds of people.
So it's not just the rewards that are shrinking... engagement has clearly declined too. I don’t mean to sound pessimistic, just sharing what I’ve been observing. Please don’t take it negatively.
Anyway, I really hope you keep sharing your voice here, in whatever way feels right for you.
Have a great day!
