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

Hm, I guess you're right. Back when I was more active in fandom, it was mainly HP, where there was a billion holiday-exchanges, so that sort of took care of my fic-exchange needs. ;)
But then, wasn't it also a bit more common to be more invested in one fandom only, back then 15-20 years ago?
I certainly remember that my flist was comprised of relatively fandom-monogamous people (or perhaps it was just my flist). I remember that it kind of shook things up a bit, when people suddenly began getting into Dr. Who, for instance, alongside HP.

Where are those multifandom exchanges, though? I've mostly encountered challenges such as [community profile] seasonofkink or the [community profile] unconventionalcourtship :)
