RE: Steemit Churn Rate and Engagement level - An analysis
Awesome post!
Followed in the hope of more to come. There are some folks that might contribute to trying to sort bots from people, such as @sherlockholmes, @spaminator, and similar folks that are seeking to fight the botnets.
I'd be very interested in seeing an estimate based on data of how many individual users have Steemit accounts, and a churn rate of those people, if you can manage it.
Thanks!

Thanks for the follow! Some bots can be identified through database queries but finding spammers/scammers require the investigative skill, manual effort and patience of users like @sherlockholmes and @spaminator.
We cannot really find unique individuals as steemit does not track that data and if people wish they can hide their alternate accounts really well.
Well, @sherlockholmes has identified several thousand bots, at least, and others have also, I think. These can at least be subtracted from the total, providing a more accurate figure. Perhaps those folks might also be able to point to other networks, or provide an estimate for the size of such, that could refine your figures some.
Yes, I will check that. Might not be able to do so till next week as I might will be away.
