I was wondering about the stats for the Redfish group. Does that group include all the accounts created and basically never used as well (that have commented at least once on Hive)? If someone created an accounts, left one comment and didn't come back since, it is not really an active account.
Would the number change a lot if it would consider only those that have posted at least 1 post/for each week that they are here?
I remember when I joined, every possible post that was explaining what to do on Steem, was saying about engagement. Original content, and comments (not spam) to get the visibility needed. Also patience and persistence.
In some of the comments I read that new account can barely comment due to lack of RC. Could that be the issue for new account that to get discouraged to fast (again.. lack of patience and persistence. They want results fast and now)?
Would be cool to compare the engagement data with Steem from 2-4 years ago.
A different thought.. Could it be that curation groups spoiled them? They don't have to fight for visibility. Put original content, proper tags and just wait. If they don't get enough, they leave instead of trying harder (via comments for example), or just continue in their own pace.
Nice info. Always interesting to see some stats :)
So there are 11000 Redfish that have commentated since the birth of hive
and yeah, their output is worse than the Minnows but I assume quite a few are one post and leave as the price is a quarter of what it was 2/3 weeks ago, and/or they lacked the RCs to do anything and gave up.
This is a fair point I think, curation groups tend to vote the content and are not too concerned about the engagement of the creator (Although @carlgnash did like to check for engagement when he was active).
Cheers :)
