I never used them but I got the impression Euroracks were going out of style from the huge spike in electronic musicians talking about them around COVID to only rarely a few years later. Musicians love a good trend to dump money into.
Or maybe it's just the nature of social media to latch on to trendy new toys until they run out of content and move on to the next thing.

I still see plenty of acts using modulars, artists are just playing them instead of posting videos of jams on social media. There's many more options of makers and modules than ever before, I think people are just making music instead of showing off. A quite nice change if I'm honest.

Funny enough I was just looking at the Erica Synths github the other day. There's been a few synth and audio posts on HN the past few months. Pretty cool to see it.
