Advanced Steem Metrics Report for 4th October 2016

in #stats7 years ago (edited)

NEW: Top Posts by Votes Ranking With payouts less than 10SBD. Increasing transparency by making invisible visible: 7 charts and 3 tables with daily Steem metrics.

Introduction

This is a version 0.5 of my daily reports designed to be a comprehensive source of Steem metrics. I am working on adding more metrics and visual improvements.

Changelog

  • New ranking with a list of 25 posts ordered by number of votes that have a payout less than 10SBD.

How to read

Every chart starts on 1st of June and extends to yesterday. The number on the label attached to the Y axis on the right is the yesterday's value for that chart.

Historical charts have STEEM/USD volume weighted daily price on the Y axis on the left of the 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.

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.

Sort:  

this is GOLD = "Top Posts by Votes Ranking With payouts less than 10SBD"

I'm not sure that 10SBD is the right cut off though. A number is quite arbitrary and I am not sure how to improve this.

5SBD is better

What do you think these trends show for the long term? Top payouts are going down, do you think this would diminish the incentive for users to participate?

maybe only users who are used to earning big money, but not me

I am not sure that top payouts going down won't decrease the incentives for the top posters. Consider that many websites pay $100-200 for a long form post or a technical tutorial so top poster rewards will still be a profitable alternative. On the other hand, motivation of the long tail of posters that get less than a few SBDs may decrease dramatically.

Thanks for the new ranking list, this looks like a minnows' voice ;-)

Yeah, I'm thinking about merging this with comments ranking to create a more informative snapshot of minnows activity .

Thank you for sharing! It is nice to see it broken down like this! I'm hoping to be on that first list some day ;)

Thanks for your feedback! Your author rewards indicate that you will make the list really soon
