Is it just me or does every online Monero community feel like a ghost town recently? (mander.xyz)

The stackexchange is abandoned, the subreddits feel haunted, there are sparse posts that are few and far between with limited and carefully monitored activity, there isn't much talk about Monero even in general cryptocurrency communities other than the occasional passing mention. Did i miss something? are external factors at play?

Its almost Monero's 10th anniversary you guys, where is everybody?

It's hard to get excited when you still can't live on Monero. I will shout from the rooftops when I can pay my bills with Monero anonymously. Things like property taxes, vehicle registration, fuel, groceries, insurance, internet and mobile svcs, etc. I am poor, so those are the only things I spend money on. Monero is best represented in selling items that are not required for day to day life, so until that changes, it's quite understandable that the Monero community lacks enthusiasm.
