6M CW activity is way down. There is still some activity, nowhere near the activity of ten years ago. Everybody assumes that FT8 killed it - and they are probably right. SSB activity went to near zero. But seems to be making a comeback. FT8 has become the dominant mode, on 6M. I do not see that changing, over the near term. FT8 just works too well. 
The real shame about FT8 is all the animosity it has generated.
