People don't have to have an account to browse. But it is true some people seem to think they have to register, login, enter into Steemit, if they want to browse, mostly because some websites required that in the past to some extent. Facebook tries to get people to login to see content but you can actually see public posts on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, without logging into those websites, normally to some extent last time I checked, generally speaking with maybe some exceptions but that has been the case generally. But people will tend to sign up for websites in order to browse, as that is the tradition. So, I understand it but I think it is silly when people don't know how things work.

But happy to see Steemit grow. How many total accounts now, is it over a million users for the STEEM blockchain? Thanks for this report.
