Thoughts about Minecraft on 2019

Hey folks, i'm new here.

So Minecraft used to be one of the most trendiest games of all time until fortnite or battle royale games blew up, So it's 2019 Should we play minecraft on 2019? This is my opinion. Yes, we can since there are very less players on many of the servers due to other games.
It's still enjoyable at the older versions of the game like 1.8+ If any new players want to play minecraft. my answer is yes. go for it.
I remember it used to have in a server around 50k+ players now it seems dead. still playable and fun multiplayer.

Good luck out there new players! Share some thoughts tho!
