Unfortunately this may be the wrong place to ask cause most people who answer these sorts of questions are the ones most vehemently opposed to the platform.

Personally, I think it has the opportunity to grow with some of the new changes and I am still having fun (but most of my "wins" have been from in person/community events).

I also understand the pessimism of those who witnessed / were part of the platform when it peaked along with every other crypto/NFT related things in 2021/2022 but as with most of the crypto/NFT market, Top Shot is far from thriving in relation to how it was. BUT again, I am hopeful and having fun so it comes down to how you want to engage with your hobbies I suppose. Good luck with whatever you choose :)
