After 6 years I came back to the forum. frankly I didn't intend to enter this thread. but I wanted to talk after a hero member commented on my previous post. this site is not as popular as it used to be. 6 years ago not many people knew about bitcoin and everyone who knew was also visiting this site. many people have discovered bitcoin and alt coins but this site is not as attractive as it used to be. what do you think the reason is. i may be wrong but this is my opinion
I think that Bitcointalk was very popular in 2016, 2017 and 2018, then it lost popularity a little bit. Bitcointalk was popular in those years because the web wasn't as advanced as it is today. Reddit's UI/UX was trash, Facebook was okay, twitter was okay. Many websites weren't responsive and Bitcointalk's UI/UX was okay for that moment. Forums also were very popular in those years. Bitcointalk was the one and only place to get the most for your business from your money. Bitcoin was less regulated, there was a boom of mixers, crypto casinos only had a few games and then everything changed, lots of crypto businesses became popular over time and it wasn't very necessary to be very active on Bitcointalk, so it slowly lost popularity but I think that this forum is still great and I'd say it's a better place than it was earlier.
