Increasing transparency by making invisible visible: 7 charts and 2 tables with daily Steem metrics.
Introduction
This is a third version of my daily reports that are designed to be a comprehensive source of Steem metrics for all community members. I am working on adding more metrics and visual improvements.
How to read
Every chart starts on 1st of June and extends to yesterday. The number on the label attached to the Y axis is the yesterday's value for that chart.
User acquisition
A basic metric of any startup, user acquisition provides insights into the future trends of Steem platform.
Chart is based on number of new accounts grouped by the created date. Only accounts that have performed any of these actions are included: post, comment, vote.
User engagement
A number of engaged accounts grouped by distinct activity. At least one action (vote, post or comment) is required.
Content
Content generation has a well positive feedback loop with traffic acquisition through short term viral promotion and long term SEO benefits.
Only posts with >= 2 votes and comments with >= 0 votes are counted.
Daily votes by marine fauna
Number of votes made yesterday by minnows, dolphins and whales by percentiles. Chart shows that most Steem users do not maximize their voting power and therefore do not maximize their curation rewards.
Note: Voting power depletes completely by voting 200 times during 5 days, so this chart has some degree of imprecision.
If you are interested in increasing your curation rewards, get in touch with me on steemit.chat
Payout metrics
Payout data is a sum of pending and past payouts for posts created on the given date.
Distribution of post payouts for for 1st of October
This is a payout breakdown of post per percentile. The chart should be read like this: "X percent of posts have payouts higher than Y" where X and Y are points on the line chart.

Interesting information. Many thanks for sharing
Thats great statistics, followed and keep the work going mate!
Edit - can you explain this chart a bit more
Thanks for the feedback!
Daily votes by marine fauna chart shows how many percent of whales, dolphins and minnows voted X times. For example, ~88% of minnows made less than 40 votes on the date of this report.
What software did you use to make the charts?
It's a mix of d3.js, react-stockcharts library, recharts library and manual svg manipulation. All libraries are open source and are on Github.
Your charts look really nice. I am especially fond of the payout over time.
