This is interesting, I too have noticed a decrease in activity on my feed, and the numbers don't reflect that. I wonder what it is.
I believe there is actually a big decrease in real activity (activity by real authentic users) due to RC issues and frustration. But I can't explain why the numbers are higher than normal, as this would likely be spammers but they typically have no SP and thus no RC. I am going to do more research but because it isn't a small set of accounts to analyze, it is difficult to pinpoint.
I wonder if we just happen to follow people that for one reason or another, are not active anymore, and that the activity which the numbers show is happening somewhere else. I'm looking forwards to seeing what you find out.
Possibly, I tend to follow very few and that's part of my problem as I try to follow users that posts stuff I will read not as much following people I like.
I am going to do some digging, but not sure I'll figure this one out. The activity is definitely happening elsewhere if it was a group of users I could easily find it. But since it is unique users, that's really hard to visualize patterns for.
follow too many and you get lost in posts and resteems; follow too few and there isnt anybody to engage with. the way curation rewards and "post longevity" are set up with aren't really conducive to long term discussion or keeping up with any post thats over an hour old
Maybe those "unique" users had to drag a few of their socks out of a drawer to make up for the real people who left or are restricted now.
What a odd choice of words, "unique", you do know that if something is unique it means it's set apart from the others, or there's not that many around, maybe that was the goal all along, forcing the "unique" posters and the "unique" voters to unite while pushing the ordinary out.
If that's the goal, though, it makes for a very small audience for that content.
