POB Community growth has slowed down

This is the second successive week of negative growth in the parameters. There could be many reasons for the negative growth. One of the primary reason could be the drop in the #hive and #pob prices. Reduced token prices affects the payout and investors and stake holders start losing the interest.

Community growth has slowed down now. There is a downward trend in the growth of the active users and so is the downward growth in the interactions. Active users reduced by 12% from last week and the engagements reduced 16% from last week.

If we have to grow as the community then we need to have rules and regulations in place. @vempromundo and @amr008 made a few suggestions in their posts. But I feel that the regulations should not be stringent to discourage the users from joining this community.

Impact of Daily POB

This initiative is started by @vempromundo.pob and is comparatively new. However, the action was seen. Out of the total engagement Daily POB contributes to 10.73% of the total interactions. This means the engagement has doubled in the Daily POB Activities. It is really remarkable to see the upward trend of the Daily POB activities when the activities on the platform are lackluster.

The community growth report based on the parameters I have already identified reveals that in absolute numbers the community is obviously growing but the % growth has now started stabilizing.

My previous five reports on the community growth are available for reference here

• Report on 26th May is available here
• Report on 2nd June is available here
• Report on 9th June is available here
• Report on 16nd June is available here
• Report on 23th June is available here

Above graph is the comparison of performances in these five weeks.

Highlights of the week

• 1103 (Last week 1032) subscribers to the community - Growth of 13.4%.
• 706 (Last week 804) active users are actively posting on POB. The number of contributors in the last week has reduced by 98. This is a worrying aspect as the users build the community.
• There are about 3877 (Last week 3759) investors who are/were holding POB tokens.

Engagement is the Key

The biggest and the most important number for the POB community was the interactions. However, due to reduction in the active users we are seeing a significant decrease in the engagement as well.

As the community grows, engagement per user decreases. It is a simple maths. The denominator increases faster than the numerator. Since last couple of weeks the engagement per user is falling.

Based on the above numbers it is quite evident that the community has now entered the consolidation phase.
In coming weeks, the impact and engagement may have a different perspective. As the community grows in users, their behavior is likely to change based on the tokenomics.
