Can't stop thinking about this. So when you boil it down 90% of the folks that have passed through the steem/hive blockchain are gone?
I know there are new users but I wonder if they are net positive vs 'new' inactive users?
I suppose none of that really matters though and it's what's new today and what's next?
I'm seeing some cool stuff out there like #neonstirke and anything
@surgentgaming is involved with to name a couple. Anyhow, to a brighter future🍻
Keep on truckin I guess
!PIMP
Yep, everything I can see, from my own tools to those of others on the various stats sites and posts is that we've lost 90% of the people we had in 2017-2020.
Big swath cut when the hard forkening away from steem to hive happened, and I guess the plandemic ending and people going back outside killed the rest?
I dont know, but the numbers of "dead followers" are incredibly consistent at about ten percent remaining in the last month as posters (expands if you do voters and non-posters, for longer months but still, the line goes down on this chart overall)
Back in the 20-late teens, we had 30K active daily posters, now Im seeing numbers like 3K. That 10% number is everywhere I look.
Which means, we might as well turn it off, OR, try to revive it and find more people like the 10% that stuck it out. Not sure yet which is the right answer, but by releasing tools and apps, I'm sort of giving it one last go to see if we can bring any kind of crowd back here at all.
We just have to try some new things and do them a bit differently.
Love this and feel the same! I'm here to support it too. I'm not a developer or even close, I can barely develop a polaroid picture correctly xD
I like that there are still folks around developing some super cool things though, so there is hope 🤞
Got you tip btw, thanks. I love the tip function as 98% of my HP is delegated. If I remember right I use to be able to choose from a bigger selection of tokens to tip and I'm actually glad it's just HIVE or HBD now.
Keep !PIMP'n good sir!
"there are new users but I wonder if they are net positive vs 'new' inactive users"
Good question, but I think its two steps backward, one step forward at the moment, losing ground but slowing the roll by adding some weight back to the train as most get off at each station, so it cant just quite pull over and park yet, as passengers still get on, even as mostly the riders are getting off...
Fuck yeah baby, party traaaaaaain 🔈
