Yuletide numbers

I knew the numbers had varied (and probably decreased) over the years I've been doing Yuletide, but I'd never seen them together. Here are the numbers (as provided by the [community profile] yuletide_admin mods) from 2014 to present. The change is more significant than I'd thought before I started. (Corrections provided by [personal profile] primeideal and [personal profile] morbane.)

2023: 1,390
2022: 1,369
2021: 1,401
2020: 1,482
2019: 1,454
2018: 1,533
2017: 1,579
2016: 1,721
2015: 1,857
2014: 1,895

I have been doing Yuletide since it started. I can think of quite a few people who no longer do it or are no longer around. I do not think I am unique in this. We have been through a plague it did affect fandom. Also, of the people I know who write for Yuletide, not all do it every year, either.
