I’m 78 and otherwise in good health. I have been a major contributor to a music site but, for the last few years have contributed almost nothing and have lost interest in the whole world of music. Is this the "burn-out" they’re talking about?

I can't access the article, but given your age, "retirement" sounds more likely. Burn out is more about focussing so much for so long that the ignored factors pile up to overwhelming.

Honestly, it sounds like anhedonia.
