for comparison, 2-3 years ago i've mostly seen ~15-17k. right now it's at 16k so i'd say it's around the same as it has been the last few years. still i'd be happy to see it growing instead of stagnating but since we still have lazer in the making i think things are looking pretty good :3

osu! is dead in the sense that most communities have more or less diminished overtime.
years ago, like before 2015, osu! would have a lot of active sub-communities compromised of national groups, mapper groups, certain mod-combination player communities (FL), even forum shit posters had their own communities etc. I see less of this compared to back in the day.

osu! over time has strangely become more of a homogenized game in my opinion.
what I mean by this is pp-maps have stomped out most players with unique skills and playstyles from the leaderboard. not saying that all people in the top-100 are, obviously there are many players with incredible skillsets but a majority of them have similar skillsets so there is less incentive to look up to as many different top players as compared to back in the day. On top of that, overall this game community is a lot more westernized/western dominant. Before there were clear western and eastern (asiatic) communities.

I know that numbers wise, osu! is more popular than ever before in it's entire history but osu! and it's community has lost a lot of it's original culture to the point where old players returning after 5 years would find this place unrecognizable.

It actually depends from the person actually. Technically, osu is still alive and well but the term “dead” is rather used in a trending way. So the term “osu! Is dead” is mostly used by osu! Players, that are less active or doesn’t even play the game anymore and thinks that the playerbase has been decreased and “osu is not dead” is rather from newer or active ones that still play osu.

I could literally make a graph to prove that fact, but idk how lol

The fact is - osu! will Never die as a community and as game in general.
In the years the community has changed most and I think it will change more.
Also with the recent rising of the social network like TikTok (yeah) the community have actually seen new players getting curious about the game
Talking about graphs, osu! is not a dead game, as now, maybe in the future it will.

Everything have its beginning, and its end.

Yeah, the game and community itself will probably not die for a long while, but the parts of the community that have been around for years have sadly
