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!
