Too bad your retention metrics are absolute crap -- 13%
Puts a bit of a reality check on the celebration, doesn't it? I'd personally crack down on the bots, but it seems that is never going to happen to any real degree.
I stopped posting actively on my blog ~7 months ago. I had 273 followers then. I'm now close to 400, doing absolutely NOTHING AT ALL. Still think Steemit isn't full of bots?
I'd wager you'd be wrong on that score.
