TOP 50 Steemit content categories with the highest rewards for the last week (2018.07.16-2018.07.22)

Hello, fellow Steemians!

Today I want to share with you a statistics about most rewarded content categories on Steemit.

Everyone knows that one content can be more interested in owners of a big Steem power than some other content. Starting his career on Steemit, each author is looking for a niche that can depend on the author's existing skills or on the payouts that it brings to the author.

But how to understand which category of content is more profitable to publish?

This is exactly what I want to tell.

Explanations to the table:

• Category - The first tag in the post
• Authors - Number of authors who published their posts in this category
• Posts - The number of posts published by authors in this category
• Reward (SBD) - Total author payouts for all posts in this category
• Share % - The share of payouts for posts of this category among posts of all categories

Note:
The calculations do not take into account posts that received a zero payment

Now you know which categories have the highest payments and can use this information to select the categories in which to publish your content. Perhaps this will help increase payouts for your posts. And how the situation will change, we will see in a week.

I want to warn you against improper use of tags.
