While researching for a more in depth article about Steemit, I came across some startling figures I thought worth sharing here.

Web traffic to Steemit is skyrocketing. Those who think Steemit cannot overtake Facebook or Reddit must see these numbers.

It's not just traffic, people are sticking around and participating on Steemit. And anyone who's built a platform knows that "engagement" is far more valuable than merely pageviews.

According to Alexa, daily page views per visitor on Steemit are up 280% to over 10 pages. The average time on site is nearing 15 minutes per session. These figures are almost unheard of on the internet.

In fact, engagement at Steemit is already comparable to Facebook's! Note that Facebook is crashing while Steemit is picking up steam.

How much you wanna bet that Zuckerberg would rather have Steemit's numbers?

Update: Here's one image with all three to easily compare the engagement stats:
