Steemit is showing some clear trends with regards to age and gender of regulars.
The 11th May is the time we have demographic statistic appearing from Google Analytics.
Gender Age demographics and Gender Distribution graphs
At that time we see that almost 30% of site visitors are 18 to 24 year olds but none of them stick around. Also interesting is that almost 19% of site visitors are female but none stick around.
Remainder of May
Things are looking a lot more balanced from an age distribution perspective; we even have representation from the 55-64 year olds and the 65+ age category.
Number of female visitors has dropped to 12.3% for the month with only 4.5% becoming regular visitors.
25-34 category remains even for new users vs returning users
18-24 year olds stilldrop off drastically
Retention of returning visitors is greatest among 45-54 and 35-44 year old's respectively
June
Age distribution is still balanced
Number of female visitors has increased by 1% for the month with 2.5% more becoming regular visitors (7.9%).
Most categories remain even for new users vs returning users
18-24 year olds stilldrop off by about half
Retention of returning visitors is now greatest among 35-44 year olds.
Europe vs North America growth Comparisons
As promised: I removed South America from the equation and now the race between North America and Europe is even closer. Europe is now consistently above North America and the exponential curve (upper dashed line) is forecasting stronger growth for Europe based on past growth
Europe vs North America minus Eastern Europe and Russia
The picture is a little different if we remove Eastern Europe and Russia from the equation but the forecast curve (lower dashed line) is still showing stronger growth for Europe.
