RE: What is the best time of the day / week to use upvote bots?
That suggests that the bulk of the users are posting during the inverse times, which indicates their available time to do so, outside of work or other commitments.
Quick query: you referenced GMT, just wanted to clarify if that is Greenwich local time without modification, ie: GMT+0, where NYC is GMT-5, PEK is GMT+8, SYD is GMT+11...
Thanks for sharing your work and insights.
Yes, one other thing I would like to look into is average overall post rewards by day and hour to see if there are times when more people are voting on posts, or potentially more whales at least.
Regarding your query you are correct about the time zone used. One thing to note is that NYC is actually GMT-4 right now due to daylight savings time.
I didn't want to complicate GMT question with DST :)
I too am interested in the possible correlation between time of post, number of view/votes and possible influence on final payout. Timezones impact when posts are made, and seen. As you know a post will very quickly become buried - if it doesn't find an audience of voters fast it is doomed, no matter how much work or value it may represent, whereas a lol-meme or nsfw image posted 1 hour later may receive votes an order of magnitude larger.
