Haha, very original :) I've been wondering lately if this is ever going to happen. Yes the number of registered users is growing but a huge chunk of these people haven't been active for months. There is a tool that calculates the dead followers, and in my case out of the 630 followers, more than 200 are inactive. I also checked @sweetsssj's account (since she's probably the user with most followers) and half (over 7000) of her followers are dead. It's pretty much the same with every other account that I checked - up to 50-55% of the users are inactive

I am thinking that people register on Steem, find it way too complicated and discouraging, and simply leave the platform. I brought 3 active Fb users to Steem, and all of them gave up. They couldn't be bothered to put the effort and understand how everything works.

Maybe Steem is way too complicated for the average Joe?
