Fantastic post (and series). Like I have said, it sure does not feel like thousands of new users. Awesome (and sad) to see the data presented clearly like this. I wish they were bringing in bunches of new users spending time and/or money on Hive, but since they are not, I wish they would stop saying they are.
What they are doing is making accounts. Anyone with free account creation tokens can do that. I can do it if I want.
Also the promotion: "free crypto for your post" never worked for us. All that does is get us exploiters and leeches.
