I feel like there are tons of factors to the rather low engagement on Hive that has continued over from Steem. At the moment though, I think the driving factors are likely non-Hive-related, such as global economic instability and social unrest, negative psychological effects of externally enforced quarantines, etc. The world overall feels like it's in a period of stagnancy and indecision, and that's not exactly a climate that makes people feel excited to join the discussion.

I agree there are a number of factors, internally and externally.
My hope was that lockdown would boost recruits and engagement as people has plenty of time at home. But yeah, maybe they have felt other matters to be more important.
Agreed, I was hoping the same. Seems like many are not feeling particularly confident to go out on a limb and try something new (like Hive.) I'm not really sure, but I think there is little more important than getting continuous new users — and providing them with an experience that leads to retention on the platform.
Yep, and why I'd really like some marketing/advertising to to start happening - Like ads on Brave...
