I took a screenshot of the chart that shows the account updates per day:

Now taking a look at this, the amount of accounts that update with post on a daily basis was as high as over 4,000 on August 15, 2016 and has dramatically dropped and as of today was at 180. What was the cause of this?Was it due to what some users mention "whales and minnows." You can read up a little on that from user @crypt0 here. Did the "whales" scare away all the fish?
What can we do to improve the platform to make us want to return here and update our accounts on a daily basis? It is tough because Steemit need to have its own way of use. We can't have it like Facebook or Instagram. I feel that there is something missing and its a small thing can be fine tuned. I'm sure the developers has their plans and what they want out of Steemit. I do know that with a blockchain base, the community has a say in the direction of where this platform can go to.
Let's get to posting and sharing!
Account updates is a graph distorted by the hack a few weeks ago. Thousands of account changes were made in a short time frame.
For a more relevant graph, look at "accounts created".
This is accounts created chart - looks a little better as there is an uptrend through the lows

Cool, I was lazy to update the post and add that. Thanks @carrinm
I understand the signups are going back but I did notice a lot of account that posted a month ago and never updated. That is why I was looking at the updates per day. In a sense you're probably right. If the amount of new users grow, the amount of daily updates should too.
Not if people don't stay. A person will only put so much time in learning the SteemIt Quality BS, before they realize nobody can find it.
I think you're misunderstanding the graph. Account updates are things like changing your password (due to being hacked). You want to look at things like posts, comments, edits, deletes. Although even those charts are quite noisy because bots can do all of those things with unlimited attention.
Really? Then what's the chart for recovery requests? I thought the account updates per day was referring to how many people are updating a post a day.
The chart of recovery requests is what it says it is. Recovery requests and account updates (which includes key changes) are not the same thing in this case.
Vacation time maybe ?
Well we are still in beta.
I just found it and will be telling others about it
What did you find?
Hmm...I did notice that my feed has been less populated recently even though I have about the same number of Steemers I'm following...
I thought it was just me. I was taking to account that Steemit does not have a use base like Facebook or Instagram and it will grow in time.
