No Participants in the Advent Calendar
====

I glanced at the Laravel calendar and there's no one. In the past, all slots would fill up and even a second calendar would be created.

Other topics besides Laravel aren't gathering many participants either, so this confirms that Qiita itself is in decline.
Companies that only see it as a promotional platform came in and drove away the original users, and it's been several years in that state.
Such a bizarre sight where participants only gather in these sponsor calendars and company calendars.

I've rarely seen a case where people who can run blogs on their own domains have left to this extent, despite having bothered to write articles on someone else's service.

I used to participate in various calendars myself, but I deleted my account, so there are gaps in the calendars.

### Meanwhile
Laravel was running an official Advent Calendar project.
