As I've written in recent past in another thread

They're going to cut 5 million+ just in the sunday million alone this year. This was the first week, so it was a novelty and got more players. When it gets closer to the 1-1.1 million mark, the difference on the final table alone will be 90k+ per week plus the higher rake.
It was already mentioned here. The smaller and more distributed individual prizes will be raked more often again and again. I'm sure most of the cashouts in this tournament came from the final table from recs and regs alike.
It's confirmed:

The field size of the PokerStars Sunday Million has dropped every week since they lowered the buy-in to $109 from $215 on January 27. Jan 27: 15,550 Feb 3: 13,228 ⬇️ Feb 10: 12,371 ⬇️ Feb 17: 11,732 ⬇️ Feb 24: 11,559 ⬇️ Mar 3: 11,525 ⬇️ Mar 10: 10,469 ⬇️ Mar 17: 10,360
Now that they are going to promote the next anniversary Sunday Million, it's important to post this here. I know high stakes players got very worried with the cutting of SNE or when pokerstars increases the rake in some high stakes PKO they get all vocal about it.
But this is where it's at. If you guys are worried about the future of online poker, it's with the most known tournament you should be concerned about, and when the small stakes cash games get close to unbeatable rake. But I know how it is, every man for himself etc.
