RE: Why is Steemit Growth LINEAR, and not Exponential?
This is about the best I can find at the moment. This site is a little TOO decentralized sometimes.

The two metrics that stand out to me are:
I wonder how he gets the data for these... it would be cool to compare yours to site-wide, over time.
Found some good data here: https://steemdb.com/@drutter and here: https://steemd.com/@drutter?page=133 (scroll to the bottom to see the DRutter genesis block haha).
His data is generally considered good, and I believe he's involved with collecting and handing it out. I've seen his posts about it before. From what I'e seen, it rings true. You can clearly see the damage HF20 did, for example.
If you consider cutting spam to virtually zero as damage, then yeah. 😎
Just considering post volume alone can be deceptive.
True, but I was here, I know the damage HF20 did to the site and users. And like I said, you can see it on the charts, too.
Personally, HF20 seemed a great step forward in the survival of the Network; only to be outdone by the potential rocksDB HF release.
This is from a programner's point of view and not from the perspective of the inconvenience to free user accounts on a platform still in beta.
Curious, were you here for it? (I didn't know you then.)
HF20 halved the useful activity on this site - our only resource other than the chain itself. There are still tens of thousands of users that can't post, because they haven't got enough RC, and have no way of notifying anyone. The site is currently broken and not approving new accounts. If it's a step forward, then it must not be complete at this time, because right now the site is all-but down.
Prior to HF20 after unintentionally affronting a Bitcoin Core Fanatic one evening, there were hundreds of bots that suddenly.started folliwing me after our last exchange in a comment thread. It was definitely a signal.
There were more bot users on this platform pre-HF20 than flesh and blood, in my opinion. Numbers are decieving. Besides the place is way cozier now. 😎
Three STEEM will get you an account at:
steeminvite.com
You are welcome to one of my account tokens should you have someone you want brought on board. They give me another one every 4 days.
Things look to be working ok. If you know of accounts that need a delegation, please, let me know.
"If you know of accounts that need a delegation, please, let me know."
That's the problem - there's no way for me or anyone else to know who needs a delegation! Don't you see? I've been explaining this since the fork. Here it is again:
New users (or users with low SP for one reason or another) suddenly found themselves unable to post, comment, reply, or vote. In other words, they could observe the site, but not interact with it in any way. Certain types of spam were reduced, but over half the site's users got locked out - and remain locked out.
The users with just enough SP to "save up" for a comment somewhere, had a chance. Most of them have been found and rescued, thanks to people like yourself.
But those who can't indicate they need help remain unable to get help.
I've had several accounts on this site since I started here a year ago. They're free, and always have been. The problem isn't getting accounts, it's getting Steem (money). Without Steem (money) members can't interact with the blockchain in ANY way. I hope this is clear. They can't even upvote a post saying "upvote this if you need a delegation".
I can confirm this right now on any one of my low SP accounts. You can make a 0 SP account right now and see where you get with it.
My friends at @vantocan posted about it a couple months ago, and you responded by helping them, thank you. I'm surprised you don't remember the details of that post though. You seemed to realize how frustrating it is for smaller accounts like VantoCan and SativaZeee. But people with near-zero SP had it worse - complete lockout!
I was actually here before and during the fork, and paying attention to stats and community sentiment.
My own data clearly show how HF20 decimated my team's progress like nothing before or since.
I'm not knocking the pluses of HF20, but the site remains broken, and part of the problem is most people with plenty of SP still don't know it's broken.
What is that fact based on?
