Just snuck past them! Steemit still continues to rise in its global ranking despite falling in the UK, US, South Korea and other modernized economies.
I think we'll see a continued rise in global rankings as Steem takes off in countries with a lower cost of living. The African continent should be a significant contributor to this.
I strongly agree with your thesis, although one small point is that Steemit.com is now declining in Alexa rankings (yesterday it was ranked 932, dropped 3 ranks today). It's just doing so much more slowly than other crypto related websites.
Interest in crypto broadly is collapsing. Interest in Steemit and DTube is not dropping as much.
(Note: search interest in Steemit is still a blip compared to Bitcoin)
Thanks for pointing that out. I said Steemit still continues to rise in its global ranking because each time I had looked at it over the past few months, Steemit seemed to be gaining a little in the global ranks while dropping in the US rank.
As you've pointed out, that's not true on a day-to-day basis lately. I just wasn't paying close enough attention.

Yeah, the changing trend is pretty recent, last few days I think. It's likely to sharpen though due to the use of moving averages.
