dunno about the math.
if I recall Steemit is getting more new accounts than that every month if not week.

250,000 active users is the current daily/monthly stat.
So, 90% of 10% of 250,000.

That would seem like a loft goal to get more than 10,000 users, but some people do have that many.

I have 3812 'followers' at the moment...of which I MIGHT have five...who actually read my stuff...perhaps thirty who vote on it...

all the rest of the votes and most of the comments I get are from bots..

I imagine I'm fairly typical.

If they could get rid of the open API for voting, they could do 2FA and get rid of most of the bots.

not gonna happen
the big money benifits from the bots.
the system will remain the same.
we can't change it..
innovate, adapt and over come..
or go somewhere else.

I agree 100 %.
Unfortunately..

it is what it is..
if we don't like it..
well..we can make our own social network platform
can't we?

If you can come up with a better strategy..share it.
I'm telling you what works for me.
Plus...don't forget to buy delegation..that's the SINGLE biggest factor.
The way I see it is I have a pack of puppies that follow me...and a few grown dogs..
Not very damn many adult canines either...a couple of wolves perhaps...and maybe ten or twenty other adults...the rest are puppies..... cute...but can't really string words together in a coherent fashion just yet.

Even though my Space Weather Daily Update seems long, it doesn't take me long to create. I do get more upvote rewards for longer posts that are usually stories and such. I do believe that if you pick an area and stick to it, then it eventually works better for you. I haven't done much of my garden updates because it is winter, but I will get back on those soon.

So, my thing is short effort for 90% of my posts and then some posts that take more effort.

I use templates too.
I spent YEARS writing my books...(several of them)
Now I'm posting a paragraph...or several at a time .

I've found that length doesn't matter. I get just about the same number of votes whether it's a paragraph or two or several pages..

Imagine that..the same number of votes for forty words or four hundred...

SO...use a a template to 'flesh it out'...then put a moist chewy center innit.
See what happens..

I have a template for the Space Weather post.
And if the NEOs don't change, I just copy the text from the previous day.

Exactly right..
oh
one more thang.
SelfVote to max when you post it.
Consider it 'baiting' the trap.
it'll attract bots...

I've tried it...sometimes the difference between a selfvote or not is several HUNDRED percent come payout..

I always 100% upvote. And I always upvote my post after 15 minutes and before 30 minutes.

To me, that's how I get paid for my work. Now, upvoting your own comment, that's lame.

yup...good plan.
and if you have any vote power left at the end of the day
(I never let it get over 60 or 70% when I call it quits)...go back and upvote your own posts...

if your vote power EVER gets to 99%...that means it's being wasted...( water running OVER the damn) .I don't let that happen.
