RE: Is everybody heading for the doors? The narrative and the truth.
at 10 to 12 thousand users per day
Visitors per day I guess? You are probably getting this from web traffic numbers which are significantly higher than blockchain users. That's all good, and those visitors count too when it comes to assessing the success of the platform.
However, it concerns me that there is basically no growth since July according to your figures (and the blockchain agrees). The July 4 megapayout was the big bang event that created maximum exposure for the platform. It was a brilliant to do things that way in terms of creating a news event and attention to spark growth. Which it did, but that growth was short-lived. What now? Stagnation, but not a big decline. Yellow alert.
@smooth thank you for continuing to be a truth teller on the platform. It's realists like you that give digital currencies credibility to mainstream users. And it's real content that can't be found elsewhere, incentivized by monetary rewards, that I continue to believe is the big opportunity for a social network like Steemit: https://steemit.com/protocols/@ntomaino/the-real-opportunity-for-a-social-network-with-monetary-incentives-built-in
Yes, these are front end stats, visitors per day... wasn't the post megapayout growth perhaps a little more than expected and more than the immature platform could handle?
I think of this "stagnation" more of as a consolidation. Don't most things including crypto projects grow in spurts and steps?
It is hard to say what was expected, but in some ways it is clearly true that the platform was not ready to handle it.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. What you describe does indeed happen but the 'one hit wonder' phenomenon is real as well, including some crypto projects.
"but the 'one hit wonder' phenomenon is real as well"
I can't disagree with you there... here's to hoping this is not the case...
as long you put your voting slider on 10% and leave it there ... everything will be just fine.
