The evidence is very clear that @jerrybanfield's campaign on Facebook from June 2017 to end Jan 2018 pushed signups, engagement on every metric and steemit.com's Alexa ranking to record levels. Never seen before or since.

We have documented this at every step from the ads to the millions of views to the click throughs to the big increase in signups and engagement.

The evidence is very strong. Price may have been also affected by other factors but the Banfield Campaign drove engagement. No question.

Also Facebook advertising was much more effective than Google advertising.

I know Jerry's style is not everyone's cup of tea but it worked - no question.
