Do you only want to know if the names on your list are active?
I think that most of the 'very' active accounts are limited in the sense that they concentrate on a number of friends etc.
I make from 1 to 4 posts a day and each one, when I submit, the page goes to New posts and I usually find from 3 to xxx to vote or comment on. To me, that is all I can do - plus commenting to a few friends.
I also think that since Steemit is being turned into a Community platform, if you are hoping to get results, you'll have to join a community - I'm not a joiner, I prefer to be a lone wolf...
why i don't follow you? :P
Everyone is welcome to make a comment! I just wanted to see how many of the "most active users" in here will reply when i tag them, cause if you can check in my first experiment there is not a single one of them.
That means that nobody is bother to search for new posts. I get that they already have some people they follow but in order to achieve greatness we need to keep getting forward! Also most of these accounts have quite some sp (many of them are dolphins), that means they can easily adapt their voting power to reward some others.
My real issue though is the automation and the balance that seems to be lost. We have dapps/curations trails/autovoting services that mostly everybody use and thus the things people doing manually have declined. The way i see it most people will turn to the above ways because simply it's less effort and better rewards. Although the reward part could be greater with interaction and activity cause that's what in first place kept the ones that they here till now and not the money aspect!
Your first sentence shows you did not understand my comment and I feel you personalised the discussion, as if I were reacting to you commenting or not commenting to me, whereas I was giving my argument as to why I do not feel I am part of a community. - and do not feel I want to be. I've been asked to join two (not the greek one) and I refused, even though I would have earned ten times more than I do.
As with real life, I have my circle of friends, my circle of acquaintances and then, vaguely in the background, a sense of community for whom I'll show up on Οχι day - in other words, I give what I get.
It is why I said I prefer to be a lone wolf - if I keep to myself, I don't have to worry about people misunderstanding me and picking fights...as happened when I first joined. But, I always show the courtesy of replying to all comments and, if I like the post I read and I have something pertinent to say, I will comment.
Steemit has tried to trivialise and discourage people from making comments, so we (in general) are only reacting to the way this platform works. You think I have misunderstood how Steemit works? Then perhaps you can explain why I can give you my tiny vote of 1c to your post and you get to keep it, but if my upvote on a comment is less than2.5 cents it gets thrown back into the pool? Those tiny rewards for comments would have encouraged better comments between us.
no no i completely understand your point. My first sentence was like a more rhetorical question cause i have definitely see you around here + i know you are Greek and i try to follow and support other Greeks. So when i saw the comment and the name i automatically thought what i wrote :P
Regarding the other things that i mentioned it's my personal opinion that i believe holds some substance and value concerning why there is less activity and stuff. In conclusion i think the drop in prices+automation+dapps+how people use the dapps is the answer!
I cannot see that Steemit could, even under different circumstances, have weathered the massive drop in values in crypto-currencies without being affected. However, much of the drop is happening in the last 10 days and I do not pretend to understand why.
In general, using a bit of business common sense, I would say prices drop when nobody wants to buy and there are more sellers than usual. I doubt it is us small members who are causing the drop, sales must be in the high numbers and so we do not qualify,.
