RE: Steem: Application usage - Where is the engagement being sourced from, and are any applications showing signs of growth?
I would expect to see a bigger drop in the number of posts and comments in September due to HF20. How come there is nothing extra? No spam reduction as was promised?

Interesting isn't it?
The majority of the spam has been gone for a while in my opinion, I would say at least 4/5 months.
HF20 cut a few of the scripted reply bots, and some of the new people just keen to get engaged. It would have been fun to see what effect HF 20 would have had in January of this year :)
I think this is partly averaged out in the per-month granularity chosen here. The number of post and comments per day when the blockchain was "usable" wasn't too much lower in September than in August. Due to the few days outage with very few posts at the end of September, the September totals already see a reduction wrt to August. The HF then resulted in another reduction, esp. for comments, in October. Here's a close-up view of the per-day stats across the HF:
This looks more in favor to the HF20 anti-spam effect. Thanks for bringing this in!
