Having fewer and fewer active users is a bad sign. Interestingly I think there is a large number of people "keeping one eye on steeemit" to see if things turn around. It is an interesting concept, but I don't think it is up to the standards of a Reddit or Digg.  Having been in Media, I think this is one platform that is underestimating the value editors can bring.

well, 3 month ago, we had more active bots :) and less actual users, but now I think we have more actual users...

I think it is all about price of Steem right now. Activity and price feed off of each other.

This may be a no-no, but I think it's because the third-party add-ons are free. They should be charging for their services.

It is Christmas time. I expect a slight increase of active users in early January. If not no problem. The UI needs to be simplified to attract less tech oriented users. I am happy with the cheap Steem ;  )

Does the green mean new users ? Blue is active users .So green is more active then blue !? I'm obviously missing something here lol ! 😊

Thank you for putting in the work.

This is really the meet of the matter, when it comes to measure how steem performs. Unfortunately it does not look good, but at least we have something to work with.

Great data and charts. I will comment on it a bit more later.

I can see this on the platform without data. Less posts each day. More accounts means nothing, 0. Real accounts are only those that post and/or curate. It just shows how many accounts are dud dead accounts now.

It must get more fun! Gamification!

PS Maybe steemit.inc could reward accounts that reach a milestone !

Well, I would expect active users to be down this time of year. New people aren't addicted yet like you and me :)

I guess we better keep all the rewards for ourselves then. :-D

Are there any estimates on bot accounts? I think Steemit may be losing traction a bit. Many will have given up when they didn't make anything. I saw the same on Tsu. As well as recruiting new users we need to keep existing ones coming back. I think it needs some combination of features and content to do this

Wow, that really is a surprise but it seems that it has leveled for active users.  Steady as she goes!
