I have to admit, my engagement has gone down. I have a bit of an excuse though... my newborn. He is taking all of my time these days! You make some great points though.
It is sad to see us not way out ahead of steem. I expected them to have crashed and burned by now.
Life can get in the way and you have to focus on what is important. Hive is just a hobby for me. Steemit are doing a big power down, so if they sell that the price could drop more.
Hope the little one is allowing you some sleep.
