Mixer ban indeed affected the post count in the forum. It is foolish to think otherwise. We can discuss mixers but we can’t promote them which is how people can make money. No money = no incentive to post
It looks like the forum is on a constant decline. If more people lose interest in the forum, In a few years we might end up losing sig camps completely.
I already said something similar in other threads.
We gotta work harder, share more, post more, write more, think more in order to
Make bitcointalk great again.
It seems unbelievable you say that wearing that signature and avatar. Supply does not increase demand, if anything it lowers the price. As things are, people are not going to post more, because there is more and more economic incentive, but if they did, and seeing the payments of campaigns that there are currently, as soon as a company comes to advertise it can hire quality posters for between 50 and 80$ weekly. In fact, I've already seen some ex-CMs getting paid that.
I don't see a scenario where companies start competing to take the best posters with payouts in excess of $100 a week and as high as $150 or more like a year ago.
