Stats are always healthy to ponder health of system, congratulations being selected in Daily 
Historically one sees peaks more often than not, when certain regions in the world go wobbly like jelly with local fiat. When local currency indicates problems people turn to crypto, sadly this also attracts those who wish to earn a quick buck without putting in any effort, creating strange patterns sometimes revealed in graphs.
When any crypto has a good run FOMO reveals itself, hence so many "dead/unused accounts", leaving a door open should Steem grow exponentially you will suddenly see many accounts come to life.
I am human, enjoy interacting with others willing to be creative and share, gaming has never grabbed my attention nor did the bid-bots or any other idea, great to meet you
Games may become the lifeblood here with enthusiastic group supporting, it has been good to witness the ever changing blockchain technology settle down with many new ideas branching off still using Steem.
I joined June of 2017, made a few posts, & then misplaced my passwords for a few years. Recently running across the passwords, I came back 3 weeks ago to see if Steemit might make a good tool for furthering my writing/art career.
Congratulations
Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade in the following category:
Nevertheless, my feed is drying up from time to time, need some new accounts to follow...
Well, I am still here. I am one of those who the wind brought here in that first peak wave around 2016. And since then, recklessly stirring & perturbing the hornet's nest almost every day without fail. };)
Ha, there! enough reasons to follow me. LoL
Many are still here... just too lazy to post :P gaming it up in the mean time
I'm confused. Is this not voice???
The strange man in the alley told me if I gave him 7 bitcoiners he would give me all the voice tokens....
Still hoping for this report to regenerate.

There’s plenty of decent accounts to follow, it just takes a little tike to find them and the ability to step out of the box most people think in and branch out into different areas of interest. The road less travelled I guess.
I follow accounts that I usually wouldn’t these days irrespective of whether the content lines up with what I’m truly interested in.
Keeps it interesting and meeting new people, engaging with them, is the benefit rather than reading some stuff I already know.
Still here, after 3 years since account creation. Just came back from Steemfest4.
I'm quite well retended I think. 🤣
Thank you for those stats, I was curious about that topic but didn't find any kind of info until now! Too bad there's no way to get a thorough idea about the individual users, alts will always mess the numbers.
Looks like many are here...but it's mainly, the usual suspects :P
Patiently waiting for better days to come
I’m around, of course, despite the bear market and the lack of activity here.
Nice to see some data. I often think about looking at some data, but I dint have the time so it's nice to see this.
community account. runs a community witness. Please consider using one of your witness votes on us hereI'm holding it down as well. Just writing shorter posts than my last epic one, since engagement is down.
Will 2020 be the year?
this is the third post on that topic I am reading today
I spend most of my time on steemleo but do browse my feed and even post from time to time :-)
But there is indeed a calm before the storm
Great stats ;-)
I'm still here... I'm a mannequin and I don't know a better place to go.
And yes... interaction is at the bottom... I was also gifting STEEM accounts, but looks like no one wants them :-(
I am sort of here. I quit posting 6 months ago. Everything, nearlyevery person and reason I joined are gone. I just hang around for the crypto news mostly.
I'm here! Thanks for providing a few nice ways to look at the numbers :-) I've just asked other Steemians for new people to follow, and although you might have different interests than me, it might be worth looking through some of the suggestions on my last post. Cheers!
It might be interesting to look at accounts only with json activity related to games.
You don't need to post if you only play and communicate via Discord.
I'm still here. Follow me for top quality shit posts :-)
You know, I love stats but I think its very difficult to get a true handle on things here especially with the multi tribe accounts people run (myself included).
I'd use an estimate of around 600 regular and 'decent' accounts on Steem but thats OK. I still hold out hope that one of the DApps will take hold and get popular and bring a lot of people in and Steem will become mainly a one DApp chain.
We will see, but until then. We continue on.
Enjoyed this post and best wishes :-)
Steem is dead, pack your bags, last one out dont forget to turn the lights off. haha
I didnt really expect a much higher retention rate simply because many of those accounts created werent really used much. Then you have folks with hundreds of accounts. All that effects numbers.
Id say we have around 10k active participants and a larger number of people visiting the site if you look at similar web analytics.
Id say thats fine. Thats much more then any other blockchain has.
I am still around but it is tougher with the day!
I do write mainly about sports and most of the other steemians don't care about sports enough. So interaction is at a bottom.
I know I can start writing about the popular topics in steem, but I am not blogging for the money but for the fun. So, I won't do that! I am writing what I do want to write, if I do please other with this it is fine, if not it is fine too because we do live in a free world.
So feel free to add me to your feed for a daily post or 2 :)
Cheers,
Peter
Another interesting thing here: the peak in December 2018. This is where Steemit did not create new accounts. This suggests that accounts created by others than Steemit have a higher retention rate. And we've seen this before with other analyses.
Yes I do tend to keep my alts active :)
Steem is not only about posting anymore, quite some accounts do well with playing various games on the chain.
And it's possible this trend will continue in time to come and we'll be unable to tie activity or 'still around' to posts/comments/votes.
Damn tribe alts, spoiling the numbers - or in Steemit incs case, making them look much healthier :)
My pleasure!
