I am not going to defend nor am I going to bash Woody. Clearly his PWD posts
generated strong opinions. That being said, I think there are other reasons
why posting traffic has declined.

Being an old dude, I have noticed a general drop off in all NG’s. It used
to take me, in the distant past, hours to work through all my favorite
groups. Now, 15 minutes. I think it’s a generational and technological
reason. Youth want MP3 files or live streaming for their mobile electronic
devices. Folks no longer want to invest in CD or lossless quality because
it’s not as convenient or instantaneous. Yes, vinyl is making a comeback
which I hope results in quality posting traffic increasing. The glory days of
the music NG’s may be gone.
