Biggest commodity trader headcounts

What do you guys think the commodities are with the most traders. Obviously Oil&Gas type stuff is gonna be number 1, but where do the different metals and agriculturals line up? Here is a list of most actively traded commodities from plus500 WTI Crude Oil Brent Crude Oil Natural Gas Soybeans Corn Gold Copper Silver Do you guys think the headcount would look similar to this ranking? Curious as there are plenty of Oil traders on this forum but only the occasional coffee, sugar etc.

Most of those in ags/softs are an older crowd so understandable why they are not on wso, and headcount at these shops are definitely on the lower end in the US
