Advanced Steem Metrics Report for 2nd October 2016
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.
Changelog
- Daily payout distribution chart is now sorted by descending values of payouts, similarly to canonical examples of Power law in wikipedia and elsewhere. Thanks to @xanoxt for the suggestion.
- Daily payout distribution chart now has some examples that will help to understand the data.
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
High quality 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.

Payout metrics
Payout data is a sum of pending and past payouts for posts created on the given date.

Thank you for putting this together. It is a nice snapshot of the activity going on here.
Thank you for you feedback.
Wow I finally made a list... Thank you @ontofractal.
Congrats, your game mechanics have potential
Thanks for the information!
I am going to contact you on chat as you suggested to discuss curating!
It looks like the distribution curve might be widening out, which is a good sign.
The post payouts distribution curve now cuts off at 25% top percent as next 75% are simply not visible on the chart so that may be a reason for the appearance of widening.
Didn't expect to be on your list. Sweet ^.^
Congrats on getting into Top 25 daily payouts (￣▽￣)ノ

Thx
Great stats. Thank you.
Thanks!
Nice! Still, I think it would be better if you swap 100 & 1. So you have top 1%, not 100ths percentile.
