Hey @greenacrehome. Glad to see your back. I too have not been able to devote as much time as I once did to steemit, but I am trying to keep up. Haha! I think part of the mass exodus is from the price of steem dropping, but when it picks back up I think they will be coming back.
I'm sure you're right. That and those who (like me) had life get busy on them or they lost interest... time will tell if they return, I guess. I guess I should spend some time seeking out new creators and their content to follow to better my experience on Steemit... where's that time going to come from?! Hahaha Thanks for commenting!
