I believe this is mainly due to the bear market we suffered for the last year. But if you look at the daily transactions graph, you will notice that, in the long term, we are on a positive trend. Maybe Steem is less social and more a utility blockchain.

Not maybe, but certainly. At least nowadays the real human interaction is rare on the Steem blockchain. The majority of the users are doing this only for the money, they do not even care about interaction.

As we both interacted, should I consider we do not care about money 😆

No, we do care about money, of course. But not only about money. And this is the difference. The majority of the users only care about money.

The top made it very clear that users with low SP and/or unpopular blogs are no longer welcome on the platform, especially after the latest hard fork. This is what you get unfortunately. 😢

Not (only) me. This is statistics. This is what the majority of the users get.
In this case the top made it very clear that they want to ruin the Steem blockchain as a social media. Oh wait. It was not social at all in the first place.
