Interested in my own community and followers, I checked out Spectacles. I have about 1400 followers, and Spectacles says over a third (500+) are dead accounts. Seems reasonable, since the last retention data I saw was that about ~7.5% of accounts remain active after a year. Actually, only a third of my followers having slipped the surly bonds of Steemit seems remarkably fortunate.
However, Spectacles reports that about 1100 of my followers are 'ghosts' that haven't interacted with me for 100 posts.
The math don't add up. Proceed with caution.
Thanks!
