I think the energy has just withered away slowly to where it was before the hard fork.

This was one of my worries all a long! Steemians have this thing where we get excited about a new change for a minute before we move onto the other one. So unfortunate. Perhaps a time will come where true fanatics discover this platorm and take it to the heights we all so desire, as it stands, I don't a lot of people currently on the platform strongly believe in it enough to go down with the ship. Everyone is just out for their own gain, sad but true.
