RE: With the number of Accounts now registered on Steemit at over 410,000 we should expect to hit 500,000 Accounts on or around 18th December 2017.

What really counts is how many users stay - i.e. active users. Do you have thise numbers?

There are some users who leave.

Here are some things I would try to improve

1. Spam comments (mast users are afraid of flagging them)
2. Bot voting. Bots are gaming the system to milk the reward pool without reading. Popular writers have more votes than page views.
3. 7 day rule. Why bother writing “War and Peace”, or even a short story, if you will only get paid for the first 7 days?
4. Users want more granularity in voting. An upvote or downvote has limitations. How about a slider graded scale for quality and usefulness to other readers from minus 5 to plus 5. Keep the flag and downvote for spam and similar, but add a usefulness to others sliding scale rating.

not many accounts are active

I'm not sure if it's healthy - on the other hand, I witness the same in almost every community on the internet.

Upvoted this you make some excellent points @swissclive. The 7 day rule is particularly galling at times. I write long well researched posts and still struggle to get enough upvotes. The Bots are infuriating well at times.
