I don't recall calling anyone ignorant. I am just searching for reasons for this predominant signup activity from these specific locations.

My apologies for not being able to read carefully on your blog.
Mainly because we build communities and one of our main goal is to spread Steemit. So we promote and invite as much as we can, which theoretically can help the platform, something everyone should be doing. Calling people desperate doesn't have a nice ring to it and stereotyping people based on where they are from should have disappeared years back.
Helping is helping. It doesn't matter who you help. Rich helping the rich. Poor helping the poor. Rich helping the poor. Poor helping the rich. It's a positive thing that any website should be proud of really.
Also, this is a decentralized platform so anyone is free to sign up. If everyone from the third world signs up first then that's great, they'd be early adapters, good contributors to this platform. Steemit owes it to these people why they can boast their numbers.
No one here gives a damn how dirt poor someone is as long as they can contribute and prove thei worth. I'm dirt poor really. I live in the third world and my pay could be 5-10% of yours only. XD Also I don't see that many people begging for charity, if there are then it's not for themselves but rather to give back and pay it forward.
The kindest person I know is a Nigerian based in the Philippines and he has a really deep sense of understanding and helpfulness. Also, you got our country's name wrong.
Thanks for reading. Btw you're misusing the introduceyourself tag (based on the norm, cause this isn't an introduction post).

I did not say or imply that you said he wasn't kind. I just said that he's the kindest and he's Nigerian, just setting him as an example. He's basically one of the main reason why there's lots of sign ups from Nigeria and Philippines (it could also extend to those other nations you mentioned) because he constantly promotes Steemit. I guess, the answer to your main question why there's so many signups from a certain place is because people promote Steemit because they believe in it and the good that it can do. And people here are too competitive to not build communities.
Btw, I just based it on minimum wage, US has around 7 usd per hour. We get less than 10usd per day.

I guess, depending on where a person is, promoting Steemit can either be worth it or a pain in the neck.
It was a nice exchange of thoughts kind sir. You do great, okay? God bless!
Same to you!
Thanks, btw sir, if ever some of my comments came out wrong. I apologize. This isn't my first language and it's hard to type every thought in English sometimes. No worries, I'm striving to learn how to communicate better. Also, I'm basically a kid, don't mind me. XD Cheers!
No problems. Your English is very good and I understood you well. Thank you for giving your insights to me. I am following you now. Peace.
