You don't think there is a correlation with the whole cryptosphere being on a bear market?

It's not up for debate that activity levels have dropped, but to blame it on STEEM alone (not steemit, people make this mistake often) seems to miss the bigger picture.

When I look at the top left of my screen it says steemit(beta) and not STEEM.

And I don't know if you can author "steem".

Comment from arcange to this graph:

  • The last graph is a monthly summary of the active users. It allows you to compare Steemit's values to those one usualy published by other social networks.

So we must compare this not to crypto fluctuations, but to other social media platforms.

Conclusion: Steemit scares and discourages potential content creators.

Well, I'm using partiko at the moment not steemit, but technicalities aside, I get your point.

I don't know precisely how to be more effective at conveying to new people the correct expectations. But, I'm almost certain that once prices go back up a new influx of users will show up, as it's happened so many times before.

Retention is an entirely different issue.

Lol. Posting on Steem to say that it's not effective to post on Steem, nice.

That chart obv has to do with price and bubble and people posting more when it's mooning. And I'm not sure what specific point of his you think this addresses.

see my reply to meno

It's just a reality tho that people will be more interested and traffic will spike and drop as the price moves.

So you can't just ignore that and pretend it's not an aspect of why the chart looks like that.

Like "look, the birds are all flying south, the north sucks!" and then it's like, well it has to do with weather getting cold. You can't just say not to consider that and assume the north has huge issues.

You might be right that retention is an issue. But I think you need different data, that chart is just overwhelmed by teh bubblez. Cheers, @pagandance

Yes, it's been clear for some time that, in spite of the good of Steemit, the platform is dying. Shit decision making from those in charge.

It is so easy to look at the bear market in cryptos, that is looking like almost a year of steady decline... and at the point where there was the need to attract more people, they decide to create a system that would limit the capacity of new users to build up and contribute.

Novusphere is the solution, anoymous posting and tipping with SELF-Censorship

Raises eyebrow

Self-censorship as a part of a solution?
