And I didn't take into account the gamers.
I know Splinterlands has a lot of users that only play Splinterlands. I could probably do some fancy tests on unique custom json operations without top level posts to even further refine it. I did check custom jsons and the numbers are off the charts. 27K for posting auth, and 119K for active auth in just the last 30 days. There are so many bots it's just throwing a dart at that point.
I responded on bitcoinfloods comment, your follower count broke my tool, you big celebrity you. Now I gotta fix that and add pagination to my results screen. :D Thanks for that QA test on 14K followers. :P
I am not under any illusions I have 13K+ followers.
Haha, well, since you break my tool with your ... large payload. (gross)
I can tell you that subjective and anecdotal experiments show about a 10% "true" average, with a wildly wide "more or less" attached to that of course.
So its likely you do have at least 1300 or more. If that is any consolation :)
