New accounts - Down. Active participation - Down. Retention - Not Good. If you think Steemit is doing well, do tell! As a well vested participant, I only hope for continued success.
User registration is probably a big cause for new people trying to sign up.....my wife has tried to get an account with no luck. Facebook has no problem creating accounts.....thats a big deal that needs fixed. Also I think it needs messaging, groups, user galleries and a few other things....then it could compete / replace facebook.
Fair points, but have you adjusted them for the cooling crypto-mania? You say all those metrics are down, but down since when? The all-time-highs of a few months ago?
I just reviewed the Steem price charts for the last four months. Take away the dips and rises and Steem is on a downward price trend... from $2.50 to about $1.00.
To continue to play the devil's advocate, you cherry-picked the 1-year high as the start of your review. Review the price charts for the past year and things look rosier.
How do you know we're not settled to a fair price of $1, and $2.50 wasn't just a wild rare aberration?
But I really am just playing devil's advocate. In truth, I suspect that Steem is participating in a long-term cryptocurrency price slump.

@bohemian Are you really a bohunk? Me too!

Short-term numbers I pulled from another post. But it makes sense. Steemit definitely needs some work done on the front end like @bohemian says.

That, or a certain reality has set in. I hope though, for the sake of my investment of time and money, you are right.
Yeah, mostly. I 'm just not comfortable looking at long term downtrends of any kind.
