    This graph could be seen as misleading because, as a year, 2026 is incomplete.

    It's better to go off the monthly chart, which is actually more stark:

    https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1882532/q...

    With the latest complete month, April, having ~3000 questions, a 20% drop on the month before.

    Or put another way, around 4 questions per hour.

    That's a ghost town.
