Thanks @miniature-tiger for the careful analysis and data breakdown. Just wanted to help tighten up a few things to make this an even more factually-correct piece 😊

Your article says that the 3-month period between November 1, 2017 and February 1, 2018 was a period of almost exponential growth for the overall steam blockchain. Technically this wasn't exponential growth - - it was linear growth. 🤓 Not trying to be a downer, just trying to avoid hype in statistics

Number of articles per day did increase by over 3 times (reaching a maximum of almost 4 times during its peak), and the number of individual authors per day increased over 4 times (with the maximum being five times during its peak), and the author payouts her day did hit a 4x increase by the end of that period, but all of these are linear, not exponential. Although we would certainly love to see exponential growth on the steem blockchain.

Would be great to see your qualitative take (not just pure quantitative) of your findings also! Maybe I will try to interpret your data qualitatively if I find time!
