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.

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

I don't understand the "daily votes by marine fauna". Is it really showing that minnows are voting more than whales?
Great question! Some examples from "daily votes by marine fauna" chart:
Basically, the horizontal axis should be read as "X% of users cast Y or less votes". Does that make sense?
Yes, thanks!
