The Current Steemit, Inc. Employee (SRs, CCs, Challengers) Statistical Data
The Information Sources
We already know the lineup that will be running the challenges for season 25 on the 9 June article by steemitblog. On the 28 May article we got to know who the Community Curators are for June 2025.
Based on these two sources of information, in addition to the current lineup of Steem Representatives (based on the announcement on the 11 April 2024 article, I create a review report of what I termed as "The List of Current Steemit Inc Outsourced Employee". This article is not that kind of huge word count, but you must get to know the effort put in to it through the attached images.
Before proceeding, please take note:
- The figures for SP, Rep, and Club written in this article are facts at the time of data collection: 11 June 2025 UTC+7.
- Club is measured using the Telegram bot, cotify, thanks to @joslud, @alejos7ven, and other members of the Cotina and/or Steem Seven teams.
June 2025 Curators
In June 2025, all seven teams consisted of 3 curators each, making a total of 21 curators working for the month. See the full list and the breakdown in to categories (country, gender, club) in the following figure.
Season 25 Challengers
Eleven accounts will run the Steemit Challenge in season 25.
Current SRs
In April last year, 30 accounts were designated as Steem Representatives, and currently 4 of them are inactive (resigned) for various reasons.
All Employee Notes
Currently a total of 46 accounts work for Steemit, Inc. as SRs, June CCs, and season 25 Challengers, some of whom are responsible for more than one position.
Nothing To Wrap Up
This is not a conclusion, but I find it a very interesting fact that more and more accounts are not losing Clubs. More interesting are the questions (or questions) that can be asked about it, such as: ‘Why?’, ‘Is the Club not considered important anymore -especially by Steemit, Inc.-?’
Another interesting thing is that it looks like Venezuelan Steemians have been ruling Steem for quite some times and it looks like they will continue to do so for another long time. Haha! Well done, guys!
Thanks
Thanks for reading. I hope this is useful. Please leave your comments.

Interesting stats.
Club status was dropped a few months ago as an explicit requirement for the various Steemit backed roles.
This was a response to popular demand and because there was so much abuse of the club system.
However we are disappointed to see a significant number of the people mentioned above going to the other extreme - cashing out most/all of their STEEM and powering up little or none.
We had hoped that people would continue in the spirit of the club system even if they didn't follow it in mathematical exactness.
But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Names don't need to be named here as no one has broken any rules - but anyone can use Transfer Search on Steemworld to find the numbers.
We are now looking at a new strategy...

You see and observe a lot here on the Steem, you try to spread your votes as widely as possible. There's room for manoeuvre, but you can't be everywhere. That's why, as I understand it, Community Curators and the Admins of the communities should be your extended arm and keep an eye out for underestimated accounts. It doesn't work that way because the same people always vote for each other. And that's even understandable...
I once suggested that you dispense with these application procedures and formal positions: choose users whose behaviour on the Steem you like and who inspire confidence. You delegate however much of your overpowering stake to them. If they make good use of it, fine! If not, the delegation will be withdrawn again. This can be a smooth process, without much mention and without reports ;-)) You have an eye on it anyway.

Creo que muchos de los que se postularon para Representantes Steem no lo hicieron por compromiso con la plataforma, sino para sacarle beneficio económico a la misma. De modo que comparto esta propuesta.
Estoy de acuerdo con el planteamiento. Sin embargo, las estadísticas tienen nombres y eso es inevitable hacerlo cuando se ocupa una función "extra" a la de solo ser bloguero, como somos la mayoría.
Yo creo que acá, la mayoría somos adultos, y todos sabemos cuando se está trabajando en pro de la plataforma y cuando se está trabajando para un beneficio personal.
De modo que al infractor hay que señalarlo, como se hace, por ejemplo, con el usuario, novel o viejo, que utiliza IA o plagio.
Esta desilusión la comparto con ustedes, y lo peor no es eso, sino que si no se le pone freno a esta conducta: Cada día serán más los que pretendan ocupar cargos para beneficios personales.

I believe you mean "curators are no longer in a club" or "lost their clubstatus" can be it's not checked and only the name of one specific curator in a team counts since this overview shows that steemit is only for a part of the world.
I am not sure if Venezuela is the only one who reigns here but I do find it remarkable how rules set by the team are ignored and only seem to count for a few and from SRs are asked to be an example and loyal... If I see the tables the double role is more common than an exception. No extra table of who holds the booming votes and is a moderator, teacher/challenger and works for witnesses? For sure the picure would look different.
I wonder who those two SRs from Germany are since @weisser-rabe already said goodbye and I never met the other and if so I am not aware s/he is an SR.
If it comes to Europe - 51 countries! - I find it shocking how ignored they are, same for certain Asian countries. Not represented but also if it comes to receiving support and rewards. No way a newbie knows where to find those people (SRs). Btw I like to add that SCs from Europe vote for everyone unlike other moderators. If this is the average trend it does sound corrupt (or is it farming) to me.
Nice #doseoftheday, it's not my cup of tea, not very positive and it reminds me of the post of not too long ago. It feels as when I see this list it's all true.
I know this is a lot of work, who knows I study it more if I am bored.
A happy day!
Thanks for the tables and pies. Chocolate 🍪?

Hi Kitty...!
I announced my retirement as SR after the new call for entries was published. With my decision not to reapply, I ruled out any further participation in this form and even though I didn't want to ‘quit’ prematurely, I'm not writing any more reports. Beyond that, I'm as representative as ever ;-)))
By the way, the other German SR is @moecki.
I share many of your criticisms. I've always been against these double appointments of SR and Community Curators, and also against the same people always being appointed. The point is, there aren't that many applicants when it comes to these calls. If you take these positions seriously and want to fill them correctly, it makes work. Just like in real life: nobody wants to be elected...
Otherwise, the SRs have taken over from the country representatives. This established a format that is not only focussed on one's own nation, but also looks at the bigger picture. It worked semi-successfully... ;-))
As far as the clubs are concerned, Club5050 is a good way for me to balance my own benefits with those for the community. I've always done that, even before the clubs were introduced. However, I don't look at any tools and thus fulfil my obligations, but I power up by feel and am always somewhere in the region of 50%. I haven't used the tag for a long time because I don't think it makes sense. It shouldn't make any difference how a post is rated and non-content tags are not a good thing...
The Steem lives with and from its people. My aim is to write, read and network. Yours too? ;-))

I believe that the vote automatically counts "heavier" if you are in a club no matter if you use the tag and frequently I don't, same for the country tag, which I find a strange one to use. I a sure years ago we only used if we wrote about a certain country. If I write about Italy, I would write #italy. What else should I use if I travel to make clear what my trip was about?
I am not so sure that more variety isn't possible or that there can't be fewer SRs from certain countries. It feels more that every community has an SR and they do not represent Steemit since too many are forgotten or given a hand. Besides, I doubt that practical issues related to the country I live in (like buying SBD) can be solved by an SR in Indonesia or elsewhere. Even if there's a choice and there are doubts, still there's chosen for the same group no matter if the powerdown or wear 20 hats.
Thank for letting me know that @ moecki is the other or should I say only, representative left.
Happy writing, I am totally fine writing in the corner of my world.

When I returned to Steem in July last year, I found that country tags were a must for contest entrants in some communities, and by country, it means the author's home country. Since then I have always written the country tag as one of the first 5 tags of each of my articles.
Also, I think the country tag was once an important tag for curators working by country, or perhaps at a time when Steemit Inc had CRs (Country Reps) before CRs were cancelled and Steemit Inc. introduced SRs (which as the name suggests, are supposed to work regardless of geography).
In case I visit another country or write something related to another country, I will use two country tags, readers will understand the reason. I don't think there is any restriction on that, even in certain cases, more than two country tags are also possible, as long as the content of the article reflects that, even though it might seem like something that ‘doesn't make sense’. I have done this in the book review article Musashi (Novel by Eiji Yoshikawa) - More Than Just A Martial Art Novel (the book was written by a Japanese and the article happened to have a huge proportion of Japanese tradition talk, especially related to martial art.) and the film review The Quiet Maid (Calladita) [2023]: The First European Feature Fiction Film Ever That Was Funded with NFTs! (And It's A Good Watch) (a movie made by Spanish filmmakers).

I believe you gave the answer yourself.. It should reflect the article not tell everything about you.
There are quiet a few who resigned months ago. I don't think they should show in this table.
An extra add of who holds the booming votes right now among those wjo are mentioned would be interesting and also make clear if the abuse of booming votes given by SRs will stop if SRs give them. Although it looks that is already an idea if the past.
The SRs Recruitment
Thank you for outlining the recruitment process of SRs, especially the early history when SRs were introduced that they were recruited from CRs (Country Reps). I have gone deep into the steemitblog post list and found a post uploaded on 20 Feb 2023 about the cancellation of CR positions and the launching of SR positions. I was not there when this historic event happened, and I find it an interesting historical fact.
So, I think this is more or less the same thing that we, Team True Colours 5 (me, @wakeupkitty, @solperez) faced in May when curating with sc08, who already had a curation plan (which was a legacy and development of the same work through previous True Colours teams), which at some point had to fit with what was on the menu.
Interesting. 😃
The Club
Was it ever a requirement -officially from Steemit Inc.- to include club status as a tag in a post? I myself also don't feel this is an important tag, and like you say, "doesn't make sense", and have never done it (as I recall), never even thought of using it even though I often see other users doing it. I think it must also have a history and has a lot to do with curation tasks in the community, especially with the booming vote that has been in the authority of the community for quite some times.
The Aim
Write, Read and Network. Add pies and chocolate for me. Am always hungry, in the mood for next food. 😃
Thanks

I could swear there were applications and 7 new ones or more. 🤯
Did I miss something or is the team waiting till the present curators finished since @joslud already announced the installmemt of the new SRs including holding the booming votes at the start of June.
It sounds like a very small world or is it: It's a small world after all?
It was a mistype, it should have been "now" and not "not". You do read. :D
It is a great idea about extra information on who currently are responsible for booming votes, we know the responsibility currently bear by the chosen communities (and by that, of course, these communities mods and admins). I think I should get in to it. Thanks.
Chocolate, always nice.
Yes, some read 🤣
I doubt anyone got the message the CR became a SR since the SRs are mainly interested in own country if there are country fellows at all and I see still this behaviour especially among the multiple SRs of the same country.
They don't give a damn about other countries which also clearly shows in their voting behaviour as a Steemian and curator (exception 3 SRs).
Sad but true and again not motivating. I also understand why not many apply. They don't make a chance even if there is more choice the same with several hats are always in which made many think.
Btw next to the booming vote holders x SR x teacher/chalkenger you can also add the greeter + the witnesses worked for.
Chocolate it is (if you spend fewer time in the gym your hunger might reduce).
Happy day MOuSE with new face.

Greetings, friend @aneukpineung78
In my opinion, the essence of the clubs has been maintained. However, several users have suggested avoiding exclusion by making the conditions for receiving participation opportunities as a teacher, organizer, or curator more flexible, as well as the possibility of receiving votes. This flexibility also occurred with the #burnsteem25 strategy. I think we'll find a lot of support for this if we search among the announcements from the #steemitblog account.
The goal of the Steemitblog team is to maintain good activity and overall growth within the platform. I've seen different strategies implemented, adjusting to the ideas shared, but always for the benefit of the platform. In fact, currently only users with "power down" assets are excluded, yet some receive Booming votes.
The choice of growth and/or savings is a personal decision, and the need for power down is always present for some, especially those with limited resources or facing difficult economic situations.
Steemit is large, so there's a wide diversity of points of view. Some support clubs, challenges, thediarygame, burnstem25, comments, report posts, Steem representatives, among other things; while others don't, and even hate them. In short, you just have to find a balance.
Most of us Venezuelans are very active. If you find a Venezuelan along your path, they could become an excellent friend and a great help.

Thank you for explaining. So, regarding the Club, what was once considered a necessity, over time has come under pressure to be more flexible for various reasons, mainly so that the quality of activities on Steem (blogging) is maintained at the best point.
So, with this, based on your explanation, and in addition to the comment from steemcurator02, I understand why we see the reality as it is today.
I can't argue that -for economic reasons- people can lose Club Status at any time and even Power Down.
The debate over this - and other things - proves that Steem is dynamic, open, and alive.
Yes. I have also run statistics for the Challenge for several seasons and have seen that the participation rate of Venezuelan Steemians (as Challengers and Participants) is indeed high. I also have to admit that they are good bloggers.
Again, thanks.
