What happened to BitShares since then?

It was shocking when Dan Larimer created BitShares, a ‘complete DAO,’ but it seems that when the developer disappears, the community loses momentum. As a result, the community is now full of bots. At the time, it was amazing to have a DAO that operated without human intervention. Dan could have continued developing it to enable NFT creation, but that would have turned it into more of a project than a DAO, so he probably didn’t want to do that. Well, it can’t be helped.

Compared to BitShares, Steemit, which Dan also created around the same time, seems to have more activity. Maybe it’s because it’s a blogging platform. However, after various events, Steemit underwent a hard fork, leading to the creation of Hive.blog, but it doesn’t seem to be doing very well either.
