An item is either a Post or a Comment reply. I don't think the number of Posts has leveled off, so I suspect the number of Comments per day has decreased slightly.
I suspect the decrease in the daily yield / airdrop has reduced the enthusiasm to contribute with a comment.
Thoughts?

Yes, lack of daily yield might've lost us some users who were mostly sticking around for that.

Although weekly active users is roughly the same. So idk.

I think the price action over trailing few months has reduced the dopamine associated with Bitcoin in general, so we get this (hopefully) temporary effect of lower engagement.
