This is exactly the reason why I am doing this exercise. There are often numbers quoted which, in my opinion , don't give a very meaningful picture of how many people are on Steemit. How many real users are there (as opposed to bots), how many active users are there?, how many people have joined and never posted?, What group of people are posting regularly, is it new users, old users, the same people all the time???

There is a site but it doesn't seem to be working for me this morning but you might check it out called Dead Followers

This let you see the stats for any account to see how many active followers there are. What would be really nice to see would be a comparison of accounts that shows how many have the most active followers. Ill try to visualise this in the coming days. That would be really interesting to see.

Thanks for the contribution and ideas.
