Make way for the new king - Asia - led by Seoul and South Korea
It been weeks in the making but the graph trajectories predicted it would be inevitable.
This week it happened. Asia is now the largest region by traffic.
Asian traffic has now surpassed all traffic from the America's. That's all site traffic from North and South America combined and the exponential growth curve predicts that it wont just past the Americas but will blow past and continue right on upward on the coming weeks.
Most of the Asian traffic is still coming from Eastern Asia.
The Eastern Asia traffic is dominated by South Korea.
Seoul is still the steemit capital by a huge margin and there are six South Korean cities in the top 25 cities.
What is interesting to note is that London has the edge on New York this week.
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane have all made it into the top 25..... go OZ.
Amsterdam is the second largest European contributor to traffic... cheese anyone?
Lagos continues to hold the fort for Africa... just wondering when the 419'ers arrive?
Together Seoul and Busan constitute more than 10% of all steemit traffic.
There are a couple of other regional tussles on the go.
Brazil and Venezuela are wrestling for top spot in South America.
West Africa and Southern Africa are trading places in Africa
Overall steemit.com just continues to forge ahead and upwards.
Hard fork 19 and the flattening of the rewards curve has come just in time.
The fact that minnow votes will now be more meaningful and that the long tail of the rewards curve will be even longer should go a long way to helping to retain and consolidate all of this new growth.
Come on Latinos! We are slacking! Que pasa! Vamos Mexico , Colombia , & Venezuela for having at least some traffic lol
Go latinos
woah, all along we had our own flippening and we got there first
Asians took over haha :-)
africa need help as usual :p
wut?
thx, corrected typo
was wondering the same lol, there's some typo there somewhere which won't let me figure out its meaning.
Maybe he means we won't understand anything on the site soon :p
this situation regarding the "flippening" seems an awful covfefe to me...
followed @stackin @fulltimegeek @acidyo... this convo was great XD
That's my crew. I mean I'm part of the unwise crew who mostly post on site that don't pay them.
yup, the flippening has arrived early on steemit
hahaha @trafalgar hope ya well brother
Total eclipse
Not surprised at all that Asia and maybe Korea might lead the way since the blockchain and cryptocurrency adoption in Asia is huge and also the number of " PC- bans" where you probably can find many Steemers in Korea after or before the Soju bar :)
1 in 8 of us are Asian - how soon before it is 1 in 2 ???
What I don't get is, how do we have such high Korean traffic while kr tagged trending posts still have fairly low view counts (hundreds at best)?
It's clear there's loads of Korean activity, but I don't understand that in particular.
It's possible the UI doesn't reflect all views, that was the case in the past. There is also plenty going on outside of trending.
Useful data, steem adoption is picking up nicely. India should come next.
I hope this hard fork really does end up helping minnows as I've had a couple of friends excited, posted a little then seems like they're a little disillusioned and have gone off. I think it's when people put in so much effort with quality posts and then they see other people getting thousands for the same or worse. But like you have to do with anything, I know you have to work at it so those who stick at it will get success in the end, hopefully a bit sooner now.
Will definitely be a lot sooner now, the economics of steemit has always been skewed, this will help straiten it out a lot
I didn't even know this information was available. This is very interesting! I would have never imagined most of Steem traffic came from Asia, but I had noticed that there was a lot of people from Venezuela.
Nice data!
Seattle represent! We made it guys!
Great Data
