In the post, he said there are 3.65M accounts on steem, and I was surprised to see that. I did the verification:

$ curl -s --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"condenser_api.get_account_count", "params":[], "id":1}' https://api.steemit.com | jq
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"result": 3657274,
"id": 1
}

However, other nodes return 1.93M:

According to ranking table, 1.93M is more convincing.

I've created a issue: https://github.com/steemit/steem/issues/3697

Steem to the Moon🚀!

Most likely these 2 nodes just redirect the requests to api.steemit.com

Is there an advantage to making one API simply redirect to another? Doesn't it just cause the owner to lose resources without any benefits, or am I missing something?

If a node just simply redirects all requests/APIs to another node, it would be useless.

Hi, by the way! I made a script to fetch all user accounts on Steem using two different nodes — the official one and another that reports 1.9 million accounts. Since both nodes return the same number when running the script, we can confirm that the total number of accounts on Steem is 1.9 million.

Yes, that is what I thought. I used an api to get all account names, it is 1.9M.
