5152 new users daily before the merit system was introduced? Holy shit! Seems obvious to me that this doesn't represent distinct entities but rather just new accounts--multiple accounts of people. I wonder how many separate people this actually reflects. My guess is maybe 200 or so, if that. Still, it's good to see that number dropped considerably post-merit introduction and hopefully it'll keep dropping. I'm not saying new users is inherently a bad thing, but I think a lot of noobs are just here to participate in bounties, have zero interest in crypto or bitcointalk, and are going to be lazy shitposters.
Nice data presentation, OP.
