RE: Going Mainstream! One Million Accounts By Year End? Steemit vs. Bitcoin

in #steem8 years ago (edited)

@smooth and I discussed daily and monthly unique users, which seems to indicate Facebook is 200,000 times larger at the moment, yet we both concur we are lacking data.

A lot of apps just use FB for login.

That is an interesting point. I wonder if that is included in Facebook daily and monthly user stats?

Sort:  

Probably. Lol. You have to take everything with a grain of salt even when FB touts numbers at shareholders meetings and on financial reports. A lot of grey area. I would say 20% of FB profiles are fake with major click farms and ad bot traffic. (Side note that's why you have to be careful registering new users on Steemit as well.) Artificial bot traffic is everywhere online. FB gets away with a lot. I remember this video about facebook ads. Reddit has a lot of bots too don't they? Anyways real good data is always hard to find.

I remember this video about facebook ads.

Thanks for sharing that. That may have implications on Steem's voting rewards algorithm.
