On Steem, continuous improvements are being made in small details.

A notable change is the noticeable increase in consistent posting among accounts in the Korean community that do not hold significant Steem Power. I believe this kind of change is actually more important. I think lifestyle social media, where people share their daily lives and stories rather than seeking special rewards, holds more value.

The number of Steam accounts is increasing very slowly. Although the rate of increase is still minimal, I think the very fact that it is growing is meaningful.

About 10 new revisions are being created every day.

I hope that in the future, there will be 100, 1,000, and 10,000.
