I was a member of VP.com years ago. Back then it seemed like almost every day there was a photo of someone's jackpot and an account of how they got it. I would say between 5 and 10 times per week.
Now it seems like it is rare for that to happen. A couple of times per month.
My question is, are people playing VP less? Or are they playing VP the same amount but winning less often? Or are people simply not posting their jackpots like they did in the past years?
What is your opinion?
Lack of Video Poker activity, or what?

It might be the season. I got plenty of gardening and yardwork to do. Not to mention the Ground hogs that eat more garden than we do. I poke a flair down their hole after dark. then as soon as it stops burning, I put a bag of concrete mix down the hole and water them.
Since I retired the business 2 years ago, I'm playing more, AND have a bigger garden.

I think it is a combination of things. I am playing maybe 25 percent less. Covid is also a big factor. Masks are back on with many patrons including myself. The machines just seem tighter. I know that is impossible in a fair game, but that’s what it feels like. VP machines have been yanked out and pay tables lowered.

Seconded. That is always scary but things could have gone a lot worse. Glad to hear you are moving the right direction and that you're back home.
