Helix Christ, 8th badge already on Day 7? Either Gen 2 is too easy, or less people/hourly Democracy mode allowed them to progress much faster. One thing for sure I can think of some reasons why Gen 2 run feels worse and why less people are on:
0. It's no longer a new thing/the first
1. It was too soon after Gen 1 was done to do another TPP. Heard some suggested a month or so of time
2. The lore around Gen 2 is far more down to earth/less mythical of military based characters than the Gen 1 larger than life gods and religion
3. Starter didn't get released
4. New Democracy mode is "subjectively less fun"
5. Muh lacking nostalgia (Red/Blue being fondly remembered more than Gold/Silver despite being technically an inferior made game)
Feel free to add your own reasons
