Introduction

If you find it interesting to take photos of your food and restaurants and post it on social media, Tasteem may be the right thing for you :).

This is an update for @tasteem data in March 2019. Previous posts on Tasteem data for February 2019 can be found on Tasteem February 2019.

Activities on the crypto project usually follows the price. March seems to be a month with just a slight recovery in the crypto world, similar as the previous month. After a long period of prices going down, we have seen a little bit green in beginning of 2019. How this effected the Tasteem project, and how are the overall activities on the platform will be presented as follows.

For those who don’t know Tasteem is rewarding its users for restaurant reviews. People can take a photo of the place they eat and the food and drinks, arrange it in a manner that is required, post it and get reward in form of upvotes.

The data for March 2019 was collected from the Steem blockchain, arranged and presented here.

Activity on Tasteem

Activity on the platform is in posts and comments. Tasteemers post their reviews from the web platform tasteem.io. Later they get upvote from Tasteem as a reward. Also, there are ongoing contests, and the winner gets even bigger reward.

All the posts and comments made on the Tasteem web are ending on the Steem blockchain.
Posts and comments can be made on their web, but also from the other steem interfaces like Steemit, Partiko, Busy, Esteem etc. Because of this, two sets of data for activities were analysed. The first is showing all the post and comments with the tasteem tag, and the second one is for the posts and comment made only with the tasteem.app.

Below is a chart for the overall activities on Tasteem, starting from May 2018 till march 2019.

As expected, there was a lot of activities when the platform started, and the prices was high. Then as the prices dropped, so does the activities. Tasteem manged to retain its users and stayed in the range of 600 to 800 activities per day. The sharp drop in the end of October is due to the Hardfork. In the last month we can notice a slight increase in the activities on the platform.

Let’s take a closer look at March 2019.
