I think the instant feedback is gone and so posting has declined. It used to be fun to see your vote add money to a post (especially after the expirement). It was also fun to see how much traction your post was getting. I wish the reward data was there. I suspect
- rewards accrue over time. So some of your impact doesn't appear till well after you voted
- the 7 day window to vote magnifies the unfair rewards curve. It basically lets every account vote 7x as more in a payout window and magnifies the influence of high sp holders. 7 day reward should be paired with a reduction in daily voting power by 7 to get. Back to where we were.
If you expanded your window to before the expirement ( which mainly relieved reward curve issues) I am curious if activity levels are now above or below pre expirement levels .
I was getting used to the instant feedback I liked that.
In terms of activity, It has declined since before the experiment. The graph that @paolobeneforti has posted in his comment gives an indication.
There was a spike of activity after the experiment began, which I was hoping was a result of the boosted incentives to participate on the network (more voting power and more evenly distributed rewards), but since then we are back down to below pre experiment levels. As I mentioned in another comment what is worrying about this for me is that although there seems to be new users posting (which is great) there are a lot of veterans stopping or pausing posting. Could be a coincidence, could be unrelated but the longer term trend will be important to watch.

That was a great post.
Thanks reading. 👍
