Yeah, it's not surprising that something controversial will spike activity. That doesn't mean that these people are actually new users or that the activity is positive and productive. How many posts and comments have been about this stupid "experiment" and how it's just not good?

Then you have the @steemitblog post about the hard fork, which always gets people talking and voting.

And the price spike...well, that has nothing to do with any platform activity. It will also be temporary, since the Steemit, Inc. accounts are now going to power down, as they have already started.
