For newcomers you probably speak in tongues :)

For all others who have been around for a year or more, it makes sense.

I feel a void and a kind of disintegration of engaged dialogue. This is certainly true, but on the other hand it is due to the fact that the old people, with whom I was used to being in contact for the most part, make themselves scarce and some have left the platform completely, with whom I thought I was in an interesting exchange. I also see it in my behaviour. I blog a lot less than a few months ago. You are caught by this mood and neither you carry the whole responsibility for it, nor others carry it completely. This is a phenomenon which, I think, can be found almost everywhere where people created something and then left again. From when the point is reached where something is so strongly neglected that the few who host a site no longer make a difference, is certainly also an interesting scientific question. In terms of its spiritual significance, it is at least as exciting to look at.

If I look at it in such a way that I, as an individual, simply run my private blog somewhere on the Internet and have never really cared about retaining a readership or even earning money with it, I would not care about the downfall of the platform as long as the infrastructure continues to exist and publications are possible. Nevertheless, the question arises whether it makes sense to operate a communication channel when there is nobody left to pick up the vibrations and sounds that are sent. In other words, a lonely radio station whose frequency no one knows. The point is: When is the level of "nobody" reached for everyone personally?

I post videos on youtube. I just started and it doesn't bother me that nobody finds me or comments. I'd rather do it for myself and for my friends who are interested (0.02%). Am I wasting my energy? This question can only be answered by me and no one else. I would say: No. I enjoy it, it brings me forward, I enjoy developing and changing my writing style, broadening my technical knowledge, etc. I like it, I like it, I like it. These are rather quiet activities.

If only you and I were left on steemit, it would probably be insufficient for a committed operation. So the question for me is: Who will stay? Who is still active from those I like to read and those I visit in good time? Who is new? And I feel a certain laziness to set out in search of the new, because it consumes far more energy.

Somehow I got spoiled during my stay here. And now, as the readership decreases I must do my own walk down the different alleys and move more to the outside than remain here on my blog site.

Alltogether you sound badly disappointed for quite some time now.
