I just can't see how it's algorithms.
Big names wanted to cash in and are old blokes now. So better off playing sets and making the money.
Whereas a lot of the tracks in the scene are still bangers and relevent today. Just a shame that those who made them have turned their back.

It's algorithms in the sense that if you're on spotify or anything like that, you're competing against the mainstream/trending/viral/whatev.

Take Soundcliud as an example. They took away the feed that listed everything equally based on date posted, and provided trending/popular/algorithmic feed.
Same happened with YouTube. Homepage used to be subscribed videos, now its recommended based on history or popularity.
Its throttled our genre.

I'm still pretty active with things! Really enjoying making new music, drawing influences from the 90s, 00s and some of the tunes I've been hearing out and about at multi-genre parties. I definitely think there's a future for Happy Hardcore, but maybe as part of a wider underground rave scene more than a scene of it's own.
Would love to be playing out more regularly but averaging 1 or 2 gigs a month and tbh I'm pretty happy with that balance... I need my beauty sleep more these days and I like doing other things like going out trekking out in the countryside and staying in watching YouTube with my cat 
Hope everyone's keeping well

I still DJ regularly, 2020 during covid I went down a rabbit hole of D&B and jungle and played in that scene for a few years playing at D&B Classics, Random Concept etc and really enjoyed it, over the last 12 months I've been getting back into next gen hardcore and am back playing this style at hardcore gigs, playing in Holland a few times this year as well as Tomorrow's World.
The UK hardcore scene is deader than dead but there might be some legs in the next gen sound. Look up artists and labels like Wicked XXX, T-Go, Distorted Reality, Genetic Disorder, Wicked Records, Mokum, Arvid, Redlock, Cenobite...that's the future for me.
