Is KF losing users?

It seems like half a year ago we mostly hovered around 3000 to 4000 users at any point in time. Am I misremembering? Is there just less happening?

I frequently see user numbers hovering at around 2000.
 
a huge chunk of users got fucked by the uk ban

edit:i noticed back on the archive pages that the total number of members has only grown 12% YoY since 2022 and you have to factor in trolls and "single thread" style users who just decide to make an account for one day, and socks like Cynthia in the Nick Rekieta threads.

if we're being honest Kiwifarms probably has hit a "peak" its not like in the late 2010s where the site was growing 50% YoY, the fact that most "lolcows" are these freaks who were born in the 1980s doesn't help either.

not that i doubt there are lolcows born later, but there are other places and venues to keep track of freaks on tiktok vs here.

Hmm, yeah there might be something to that. I'd guess many visitors/guests will just not bother getting a VPN if they only need if for KF.
i mean a simple VPN isn't that hard to find, the free ones lock out lots of options, but for shit like age gates or country bans they're numerous enough that anyone could just download and use one. its not the 2000s where you're sort of fucked by this stuff, they advertise VPNs everywhere now. remember those months when the only time you could use this site was on TOR?

yeah, its crazy how much 'convenience' plays into how people choose to consume media whether that be a website, movie or any other medium.

Gabe Newell famously said " Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem...if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24/7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable"

people will always be willing to do something if its very convenient for them to do,.
 
I should be concerned a bit more often.

Although I'm not sure if I want KF being infested this 4chan BBC posters...
