2 Days ago i made a post about an "experiment" i am conducting regarding the activity in here. In case you missed the part 1 and wanna check it out click here. What i did was to simply ask for people reading this post or watching the title of it :P, to just make a comment. After nearly 2 days the number of total comments was 19, out of my 1600 followers, so as you can understand something seems off.
If you recall a couple of months ago the whole community tried to promote a voting that took place in netcoins in which the winner coin/crypto would earn a free listing that worth 30.000$. Thankfully, we won but the number of the total votes was a disaster and not even close to the 50k of daily active users. Note also that this contest promoted by many "famous" and influential Steemians as well as communities and they even rewarded those that voted.
In my previous post i said that from those 50k active daily users let's just exclude 10k of them that probably are bots or alt accounts. I also stated the following:
To be qualified as daily active account you just need to do at least one transaction per day. That means that a power up,power down, 1 upvote, 1 comment, 1 reply, 1 post,sending % of steem-sbd equals daily activity for your account.
We now have a total number of 40k daily active accounts but the reality is much worse than you thought. A lot of people use autovoting services that i am not against but it still mislead us in a way. If you have no free time or you follow too many people then it's more than ok to use autovoting services, it's a must! That way you can reward the people you love or at least find interesting.
The problem though is that by doing this the account counts as a daily active user even if you are at a cabin in the woods without any internet connection. Also, many people don't bother to do any manual research at all, maybe cause they are bored, maybe cause they don't have the time, maybe because they do everything automatically?
Thus, my speculation is that the daily active accounts are around 10k and even less. Moreover maybe that is an answer to some question you may be wondering. Questions like:
"Why nobody reads my posts while stats say 50k daily active accounts??"
"Why my posts don't get that much visibility?"
"Why from my *insert a number* followers only 10%-20% reads my stuff?"
"What are the reasons behind that low activity?"
Now i am gonna use more DRASTIC MEASURES to see if anyone will bother to leave a comment. As you know in my previous post i just wanted to see some activity from anyone by just commenting. Now i will take this a step further and use @steemitboard's ranking page to sort it out by the number of comments (i"ll try to exclude the bots,some fishy accounts and the ones i follow or follow me) and below i am gonna mention a lot of top ranking (by comments) Steemian names just to see what will happen!
Note that the reason i am doing this is because most of us use apps,bots,dapps that notify us when somebody mentions our names, either this called Gina-Bot, Steemworld etc etc. You can do the exact same things in the comment section, it will be fun! Will they bother to check why their names mentioned or not? Let's see what will happen!

Those people are among the top 400 users based on the number of their comments. I wanted to continue but doing it manually takes a lot of time. Also, the Koreans are all over the top spots! What's your key for engagement guys, share your secrets!
Once again the only thing i want is quite simple. I just wanna see if you are one of those active accounts. I don't care about upvoting or resteeming this post, all i want is to MAKE A COMMENT, anything that you like even an emoji will be just fine! You can also add others by using @andthenamehere and make the "experiment" your own!
