RE: When do whales upvote?
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoy my posts. This one took a bit more effort than the others, but it was a lot of fun. It's only touching the surface of the kind of statistical analysis you can do on the blockchain.
Good for you for blazing the trail. Personally, I've been mostly scared of making any analysis out of fear of making a mistake and being criticized for it. I really hope posts like this gain some traction to increase the confidence of people like myself. I agree that there are tons of insights to be mined.
Everyone makes mistakes. Hopefully if there's a mistake someone spots it, and I learn from it.
Yeah, I guess so. Maybe it comes down to strength of character regarding that aspect. Though I do appreciate criticism directed my way, using them as a means to improve.
Do you think you could find out the general topics they upvote on? Not really because I want to posting about those topics but more to see the direction in which steem it might be heading in. After all the whales are the curators of steem.
I think there was already a post that covered this. I can't remember who it was by. It covered the tags they upvote in most.
Producing stats for topics based on the content would be a bit harder. You could try a keyword based approach with clustering, but that'd be a lot of work for some shaky results. Fun to do if you have the time for it :)
