Those Daily Uniques metrics include crawlers and other activity.
If you look at per-day activity, you'll see spikes at like 2am Central Time, .. the device type when that happens will almost always show an unusually high "Laptop" number (e.g., 80%).
That type of activity is only been occurring over the past couple of months.
So those DAU analytics really don't tell an accurate picture of growth.
I don't think its because of the price - we rarely talk about that and everything between 10k-30k is basically the same value anyway. Who cares abou that, I wouldn't even notice without reading it on social media.
Ya, ending the "first-few comments and posts for free" thing (due to bots) is likely a contributing factor. There was a way described how to bring that back (by letting accounts have a filter and new accounts without upvotes wouldn't rank enough to appear in your view of front page and /recent (unless you had lowered your "min score allowed" threshold).
Click "analytics" at bottom of SN and you will see there was a small dip around July, but everything is at an ATH on SN

I guess it's just less engagement then, at least in my case 😆

Is @k00b fault. He forbid the bots here :)

Did not look at the price for a while, haha. Currently, I am testing living on Bitcoin
How's that going? 🙂
Pretty fun! I am writing down my experience and will share it soon 🤓️
It's not just you.
