As many others have said, it's only natural for the trends to plateau. After a sudden surge of users, due to the Reddit controversy, some of the less "devoted" (can't think of the best word) are bound to leave in search of a more user-friendly experience or a community with more active users. I too, also wish that some of the more niche communities had more active users, however I also understand that these things take time and A LOT more users. For that reason and for the sake of a freer internet, I reckon I'm in for the long haul. I'm also trying to contribute as much as I can with the limited time I have. I think people need to understand that because we aren't the product/customer anymore, we need to help to contribute content and help the build new communities.
