What happened to skywars?

Hey!

I played skywars when i was about 8-10 years old in the 2015-2017 TapL / Technoblade / defib era, when all those YouTubers were popular. It was the biggest gamemode, and I always enjoyed it

However, I returned to it yesterday, and there was below 300 people on it - and I kept getting the same players in my lobby.

And, by the way, every player is ridiculously good. I am terrible in comparison to literally everyone.

But, anyway, genuine question, what happened?
