People can post on more than one place. If they're withdrawing to here and only here, they're not interested in advocacy, they're interested in protecting their worldview.

Everyone has heard of bitcoin by now. We are at the long tail of outreach and advocacy, there are diminishing returns. Like the bitcoin prophet said, paraphrasing, if you don't get it I don't have time to convince you. Anyone still not into it is only going to get into it when they realize they need it.

What worries me more is there's a bitcoin echo chamber and the people in it are increasingly disconnected from reality. It's not that their advocacy can't be heard, it's that they don't hear novel ideas anymore. The opposite problem, really.
