Daily votes by marine fauna

Number of votes made yesterday by minnows, dolphins and whales by percentiles. Data demonstrates that most Steem users do not deplete their voting power and therefore do not maximize their curation rewards. Note: Voting power depletes completely by voting 200 times during 5 days therefore daily votes metric has some degree of imprecision.

Thanks for the statistics. It's just my impression or the rough data for content creation (posts, comments) is going down?
In other news, I'm happy I made it to the top 15 posts by number of comments. :)
Yeah, you are right: number daily created posts and comments is trending down for a while. The trend is more pronounced for comments than posts.
And congrats on fostering a discussion in the comments of your post.
This is some very interesting data! I'm looking forward to the next update to see how things track. I'm a little surprised I made the list too! Pretty cool. Thank you.
Thanks for your stats ;) I'm happy to see me inside!
Awesome, Thanks for the stats. Impressed that I made the charts in starting a good conversation in my blog :)
