RE: November '18 New STEEM Account Report
So, fewer accounts are being created but they are more active. Interesting tradeoff.

not a good trade off if they are bots set up for voting....
True, I would prefer we outlaw most bots. It removes the need and motivation for people to actually interact with the site. This is a SOCIAL site. Abdicating participation through a bot is one of the biggest downfalls Steemit has made. It undermines the core strength of the platform!
In essesnce i agree. However what bots do is increase the number if transactions per block, and so make the steem block look more active and attractive to investors, not that i like that idea but many others do

Why would anyone judge the attractiveness of a social network based upon the artificial size of transaction blocks. Social sites are measured on the size and activity of the network. When analysts talk about Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and WeChat, they look at the user base and activity. Not the consistency of data flows. The number of transactions in blocks can, and in our case, are artificially manipulated. Bots, fake accounts, etc. can pad such measures. Let's instead focus on what really matters: the growth of active users and activity. That is not accomplished by allowing users to automate (set and forget) their activity.
agreed, focusing on the people and engagement is the way forward
