1 - Scope of Analysis

Date of the analysis is 09.02.2018 and timeframe of the analyzed data is between from 01.01.2017 to 01.01.2018.

2 - Tools and Code

The data to be analyzed is taken from SteemSQL - A publicly available SQL database – by using DBeaver. And charts and graphics are produced by using MS Excel.

I used the following code to get the information which X, Y, Z are the parameters I looked into and A, B are the numbers of the date range:

Select X, Y, Z
FROM comments (NOLOCK)
 where   
 created >= ('2017-0A-01T00:00:00.000Z')
 AND created < ('2017-0B-01T00:00:00.000Z')
 and Depth = 0
 And json_metadata like '%"tr"%'

3 - Results

In 2017, 1630 authors have created 19842 posts with tr tag and 99938 comments have been made under those posts.

I have analyzed the distribution of posts & comments in all posts that authors created in 2017. In 2017, we have averagely 1580.3 number of posts for each month, and 8404.916 comments have been done per month. I have tabulate the overall distribution of posts & comments for months. Results are given below:

From the table, we can do the following conclusion for the posts:

• Number of posts are monotonically increasing expect for the period July-August and February- March
• Maximum number of increase has happened the November- December period.
• Maximum number of increase with respect to ratios has happened on the April–May period. (multiplier ratio is 5.337)

From the table, we can do the following conclusion for the comments:

• Number of comments are generally monotonically increasing expect for the period February–March , June–July and July-August.
• Maximum number of increase has happened the October-November period.
• Maximum number of increase with respect to ratios has happened on the March–April period. (multiplier ratio is 7.53)

As a next step, I have analyzed the number of unique authors per month. Results are given below:

From the graph, we can say that after September, number of unique authors have been increased dramatically. For overall distribution, we have monotonically increase expect February-April and July-August period. Number of unique author per month is 207.83.

When we look out the payout distribution by month, we have a different distribution which we can see from the graph that is given below:

From the graph we can say that:

• Average author payout per month is 8711,227
• Maximum payout for unique authors is maximum at June.
• Payouts at June and December are higher than the other months

As an another distribution, I have focused on number of posts and authors payout relation, I have found this result:

In this graph, we can conclude same results as previous one. June and December are the leaders in terms on authors payouts. On June, we have $23.034(SBD+SP) payout per post in June and the case is $4.576(SBD+SP) in December.

When we look at the payout distribution by posts, we have the following graph:

Nearly 50% of the posts have no payouts, or payouts that we can neglect.

Some top 10 situations:

3.1 - Top 10 Authors by Number of Posts

Those authors have 8.5% of total number of posts in January.
