If 99% of the projects are dead or dying, you don't refer to the remainder as there being plenty of projects that are doing good.
Well truth is NFT project come and go and short lived just like meme and everybody is deploying it.
So it's always gonna be 99% of projects are dying even when it was at peak hype.
Although I agree, NFT market doesn't seem that good anymore, pretty much a dying market but NFT on its own is still very utilized technology.
