Stacker News rewards pool is WAY down as is usage from a year ago. Any thoughts on why and how to turn the ship?
Our stats are falling hard - https://stacker.news/stackers/year
The rewards pool is way down, because k00b is weening us off of his daily subsidy.
As for why usage is way down, I don't have a good explanation.

Ah was always curious where the primary daily funds came from. I know we have occasional sponsors

I imagine some of the decline in users is related to the smaller rewards.
Total stacking doesn't appear to be down much, so maybe it's just a minor correction.

Hmm my stacking is way down from a year ago. How about you?

I'm up a bit from a year ago, but my stacking peaked after MSM and has definitely been trending downward. I did tick up after taking over ~econ, at the start of the year, though.
