All quiet? Fairly quiet.

Usenet is slowly declining in participation.
The Interwebby thing is still the main point of attraction, using a
million times as many bytes to convey as little information as
Usenet.

In marketing; Blinkenlights are important because they blink; not why.
Interweb is full of Blinkenlights.

Can't really market Usenet.
