RE: Analysis of New Steemit Users Aug Interim Report – Steemit Business Intelligence
Hi Paula, thanks again for some great analysis and stats. Please do keep them coming.
The drop off rate is rather worrying. I guess posting drops off faster than voting as it is easier to vote than to post. And the time v reward equation would weigh towards a quick read and upvote v an hour or so making a post.
These numbers would support the graph I have found recently on https://steemdata.com/charts . If you look at the first graph on there of Daily Active Users there appears to have a been a rather cataclysmic drop off around 6 August.
I do really hope there is some glitch on the data feed on this. Do you have the facility to do a comparable data analysis like this?
Hi @pennsif, I have been extracting data from steemdata for my own analysis and it seems the datafeed to that graphic is lagging behind the blockchain.
I am not sure when this will be remedied. @furion did a post about it a few weeks ago. https://steemit.com/steem/@furion/updates-on-steem-python-steemdata-and-the-node-situation
I believe @paulag sources her data from elsewhere which is more up to date.
That is reassuring. I was hoping the data was not correct.
from what I can see there has been no glitch in the data :-(
Eeekkks
This sort of thing is natural in platform growth. There will some articles that spread the word, all of a sudden there is a stampede of people come to see what the latest thing is, do not understand it at first and then leave. I did the same a year ago.
Expect waves of people. Sadly, also expect waves of bots as there is profit to be made with these.
