Yes, most of the dust accounts are made by bots. The creation has slowed down a bit, now that good names are taken and, well, you can't really spam steemit.

If most of the dust accounts are bots, then the real number of users on steemit is about 5000? That puts things in a different light!
If you exclude the bot dust, then the whales own a smaller % of the eco-system than is being claimed.
I do a weekly report, and right now we have about ~10,000 active users. Real users is more than that, but probably nowhere near 80k.
Maybe but "active users" also includes some bots, duplicate accounts, spambots, etc. I don't really see a good way to measure "real users" on this system.
