The number of Steemit users has surely been growing, so I thought I would answer the question of: How many total Steemit users are there? Also, how many are active users.

Total Number of Accounts: 171,515

Number of accounts active in past 30 days: 26,148

Number of accounts active in past 7 days: 13,295

Number of accounts active in past 24 hours: 6,269

Number of accounts active in past 12 hours: 4,805

It would seem that almost 150,000 users have up and left Steemit, since about 145,000 haven't been active in the past 30 days. My question is, why?
