• Top middle of the scene is player's username with "@".
• "followers" means how many fans subscribed; The amount will be increased according to the player's clicking speed of clicking the "Type/Post" button. The pre-condition is the player at least posts one article, then the amount will be increased from 0.
• "posts" means the amount of posted posts; "one completed post" means one article is finished and "Post" button is clicked.
• "following" means how many other steemit users I've subscribed. Just random increasing and no dependency.
