March and April '24 were sort of outliers, because SN was running an incentives experiment.
The dramatic change came from a small number of previously heavy commenters dropping off.

Interesting to know that. Did this exit happen because of this experiment? Is there a post about it?

The experiment was initially called Million Sat Madness. I'm sure plenty of posts were made about it.
Many stackers left during, and immediately, after the experiment. I don't think it's the explanation for the decline of ~econ commenting though, because that peaked several months later.

I took a look at the original post and many of the accounts that said they were leaving actually haven't posted since that period.

Yeah, it was more alienating than the introduction of Cowboy Credits.
