RE: Steemit Google Trends: Venezuela Number One Geographically
wtf -- you're right!
I took that screencap, reloaded it a few minutes later and it had China up. Now its showing Nigeria at #2 again. Must be some fluid movement. Good catch though!
I feel honored. Well, not everyone writes "Greetings from xyz", plus number of Polish users in an English-speaking part of steemit is not very significant, I suppose ;)
I've found a post "Number of Steem User Accounts by Country". Pretty interesting statistics, imho, although flawed, so I've decided to take a look at the self reported user locations (from a database) and aggregate them, case insensitive.
My results are way different from those I linked to. There are 6241 users whose location contains "UNITED STATES" or "USA", plus 664 whose location reads just "US", 728 - just "CALIFORNIA" and so on. "VENEZUELA" is the top self-reported location (5129 users) and 8419 users total have that word included. They're still behind users that have either "INDONESIA" or "ACEH" as part of the location (10274), but both numbers are high (those containing "POLAND" or "POLSKA" - only 1087).
I've seen plenty of Indonesian posts there so the data I gathered doesn't surprise me, although Venezuela got me pretty surprised.
