Meetups get me thinking about the community and how we have grown since the last meetup so I pulled together some interesting stats this morning on the number of accounts on Steemit and how they have been developing.
Complete Profiles
We hear many figures for the number of users on Steemit, largely based on the number of accounts but I would like to draw to peoples attention that this metric is a bit misleading
- many people create several accounts
- many set up an account but never use it
- people also set up shared accounts.
Account Creation
The following graph shows the number of accounts created per day since the beginning of Steemit.
Number of Accounts
The Red line is the total number of accounts and the coloured lines is the subset of those accounts that have added a Profile Picture, Name or location.
Completed Profiles
The following graphs zooms in on the profiles that contain more details than just the default.
From inspection people generally fill out all the profile if they filling out any of it. Currently about 10% of accounts have a fairly complete profile.
Is this a more reliable guide to how many users are currently on Steemit?
@steem-dublin
It's almost time for the next Steemit Meetup in Dublin. This monthly event has been great fun in the past and I am looking forward to seeing some new faces tomorrow. Please join us if your in Dublin.
Edit:
Some additional graphs:
Log scale split of completed profiles
This graph generally shows that most people who take the time to complete their profile for any item generally complete it with a link, photo and description.
Accounts
This graph shows the number of Steemit account with a little Loess smoothing.
Definitely a positive trend in 2017!
Thank you for reading this. I write on Steemit about Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Travel and lots of random topics.
