Steem - Voting Activity & Steem Health
Can we use Voting Activity as an indicator of the health of the system?
We already look at posting activity and post payout activity through several different lenses. What patterns emerge if we examine levels of voting activity over time.
In this short series I will look at the different metrics which can be monitored over time. I will use feedback from this series to build reports that provide this snapshot on a regular basis.
The reports I produce depend on steemdata which seems to have been out of synch for the last few weeks so apologies for no regular reports last week or this week.
Voting Activity
There is much debate over Voting Circles, and Paid for Voting Services not to mention Self Upvoting. This analysis does not intend to make a judgement on any of these activities but rather provide some insights which we will share on a regular basis.
How are Votes per Day tracking over time?
What is the breakdown of votes between Comments and Full Posts?
How many accounts are voting each day?
How many accounts get a vote each day?
Lets break down the last graph with each author that receives a vote represented by a single point.
A few posts stand out already but in the next few graphs we will use a different lens to look at this data.
Which cohorts of people are posting?
Steem Power
Steem is a stake weighted platform. If you have more stake your vote is worth more.
How many votes are being made by people of different levels of Steem Power?
Reputation
It can take a while to build your reputation and the system is designed so that it is easy to lose it. You don't want to get downvotes from people with higher Rep!
How many votes are made by people of different Reputations?
Account Duration
How many votes are made each day by people that have been on Steem/it for different lengths of time?
Join me tomorrow where we will look at Votes by popular bots, and please add a comment with the graphs that you find most useful.
Thank you for reading this. I write on Steemit about Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and Travel.

Nicely done! I'd love to see these stats broken down by platform too! Steepshot vs Busy, etc. Looking forward to more.
That would be interesting to track over time thanks for the suggestion.
This means there are users who're getting upwards of 20000 Votes in a week? That's massive.
Some in one day.
Didn't expect to see that much votes by <25 rep users.
Always thought there are only a handful of them. Hmmm
That includes people on Rep 25, I need to update the label to <=. Thanks for pointing this out.
Interesting info to see presented like this! Very easy to understand. Thanks!
