It is good to see that you are active again on the Steem blockchain as an author.

I am also one of the old faces on the Steem blockchain, so not everyone is gone, but the Steem blockchain is basically indeed dead in terms of real human interaction. The number of post in the first week of 2020 is 59 675, but the average number of comments is only 3.38. The second week of 2020 is even worse. The number of posts is 57 751, but the average number of comments is 2.84. The number of the daily active users is decreasing since months.

You can find more information about these things in this statistics posted by @penguinpablo: [Weekly Steem Stats Report - Monday, January 20, 2020](https://steemit.com/steemit/@penguinpablo/weekly-steem-stats-report-monday-january-20-2020).

The problem is the fact that the majority of the Steem blockchain users are selfish and greedy. They focus and care only about their own blog posts, and they do not care about other people's blog posts. Looks like most of the users cannot use the platform naturally, like they use Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms. The selfishness and the greed of the majority of the Steem blockchain users are ruining the Steem blockchain.
