What is up with this Platform?

I joined Steemit at the beginning of 2018. Things have really changed, and not for the better. I can't imagine it will be around in the next 5 years. Makes me sad. There was such promise here. Now it is like talking into the wind.

No one is around. Nothing of real value is getting posted and there really is no sense of community. Can anyone tell me what they find useful about this platform? I mean really, what is the point? I can't get my funds off this site, I can't get seen because of all the bots and I am not having fun anymore. I barely even come here that much now.

I would love to hear from others why they are still here?
