Is Garry's Mod still alive in 2021?

Dev-wise, it's been updated so there's that. Player wise, according to steam charts the average monthly players has been consistently between ~25k - ~30k a month since 2013. This past january it's seen 28k players, which is the most it has had since August last year.

Dead? Not really. Alive? Has it ever *been* alive? Certainly not GTA alive, but alive in its own way.
