Uhm... isn't Nigeria 2nd? That's what the print-screen reads. Nonetheless China has quite a dark blue color too and that's great.

I don't come from a country as heavily regulated as China nor even Germany nor UK, although censorship of google and other big players hits me badly and it hit people regardless of the geographic location. I despise YouTube's censorship of videos, politically motivated demonetization, banning of users for often unclear reasons and shadow-banning of comments.

Hopefully steemit will grow as a result. Most of my favorite channels are on YouTube, some in addition also on BitChute, Minds or some other platforms, which have convenient mobile apps (afaik, steem doesn't have an official one) which I don't use, but many people browses internet from mobile devices. I'd love more great content creators there (and some great followers of my blog wouldn't hurt either;) ). Hopefully it's slowly changing.

Greetings from Poland!

wtf -- you're right!

I took that screencap, reloaded it a few minutes later and it had China up. Now its showing Nigeria at #2 again. Must be some fluid movement. Good catch though!

I think you're right. The censorship of the platforms alone is going to blow up this balloon. And the mobile apps is definitely a barrier that is stopping some adoption. Will be nice when thats implemented.

Welcome to the party! Glad to see someone from Poland on here. I can honestly say I think you're the first I've really noticed!/Screenshot%20from%202018-03-01%2021-02-48.png)

I feel honored. Well, not everyone writes "Greetings from xyz", plus number of Polish users in an English-speaking part of steemit is not very significant, I suppose ;)

I've found a post "Number of Steem User Accounts by Country". Pretty interesting statistics, imho, although flawed, so I've decided to take a look at the self reported user locations (from a database) and aggregate them, case insensitive.

My results are way different from those I linked to. There are 6241 users whose location contains "UNITED STATES" or "USA", plus 664 whose location reads just "US", 728 - just "CALIFORNIA" and so on. "VENEZUELA" is the top self-reported location (5129 users) and 8419 users total have that word included. They're still behind users that have either "INDONESIA" or "ACEH" as part of the location (10274), but both numbers are high (those containing "POLAND" or "POLSKA" - only 1087).

I've seen plenty of Indonesian posts there so the data I gathered doesn't surprise me, although Venezuela got me pretty surprised.
