The Top 100 Most Followed Steemit Accounts
The Top 100 Most Followed Steemit Accounts
Last night I wrote a script analyzing 54,459 accounts to give you the top 100 most followed Steemit users as of Tuesday, August 9th.
TOP 100 USERS BY FOLLOWER COUNT
Steemit Is Not a Popularity Contest
Let's be clear about that right up front. This isn't high school all over again. It's possible to game this report by creating 100's of bot accounts and then following yourself with them. What matters most here is the content you create. Will it always be noticed or appreciated with whales votes? Nope. Should you keep writing great content anyway? Yes, if you want to see this platform succeed long term and, over time, gain followers of your own. For the most part, IMO, these people have a lot of followers because they're consistently posting great content others want to read. Do the same, engage, write something meaningful, build relationships, leave useful comments, and you will make connections as well.
Some interesting things I discovered while putting this together:
- I finally figured out how the API works. You can see the nerdy details of how I got this data here.
- I'm somewhat of a narcissist. I originally planned on showing the top 50, but since I was 53 on the list, I decided to go with 100. That's forgivable, right?
- Out of 54,459 accounts only 18,898 have actually posted at least once. We have a lot of bots/mined accounts around here.
- Only 6,671 accounts have at least one follower.
- I really love geeking out about data like this.

While I'm not on the list, I'm happy to say that two of my referrals are on the list : @lukestokes and @katecloud
I'm very thankful for you and @sean-king who got me interested in this thing early on. Thanks Bill!
Nice post! What will happening, if someone resteem your post?
Do you make money for your referrals?
I'll be on that list soon!
After going through the full list of 100 people my followed number has increased from 38 to 63, so @lukestokes thanks again for this post. It was useful to find some more interesting people to follow here on steemit :)
Excellent! Glad you found some good accounts to follow.
I can't believe I saw I follow over 200 people . Wonder how this happened in just 2 weeks
I'm sure there will soon come time where we are going to be removing accounts from our follow list as well... :)
I already started :)
Thanks for the mentioning and as always `
Thanks for the list, I'll be checking some of these account to seeif I find something interesting.
The stats you got about the users that actually have posted at least once is more interesting though... a bit less tha 19 thousand out of almost 55K registetred. This simply shows how small steemit is at this stage and how much headroom for further growth it actually has :)
Following @dollarvigilante for example is pretty much pointless for me, even thoughhe is at the top of the list... he has yet to post something interesting for me personally, even though judging by his post's rewards, votes and comment you can say he is quite successful on steemit.
His last post was downvoted because he repeated himself . His knowledge has no value to me ! I just mentioned this in my previous post a couple of hours ago
Starting to repeat yourself just after a couple of posts simply eans that there is not much you can actually say. On the other hand it is not bad that he came to steemit as he brought some of his followers along and among them might be some hidden gems that just need time to be revealed...
I agree
It's interesting how big the difference is between the number of accounts and how many have actually posted.
Yeah, most of the accounts on Steemit are bots or mining accounts. When people talk about the platform growing to 50k+ users, that's not really an accurate reflection of active accounts, which you can see here.
Ha ha. I like the "narcissist" confession thrown in there. :-)
Truth in transparency, right? :)
That's quite a list, thanks for the info! It's definitely helpful when considering the different types of data on the site, as you mentioned.
This is great! It's good to know that it's possible to view this data!
Everything is on the blockchain... it's pretty amazing. :)
Nice work, thank you for your effort.
