To take the analysis further, I also have findings that the bid-bots gives bid to over 2000 posts and takes a 20% share from reward pool.
I will issue a report on that also.

Hi @crokkon, thank you for the contribution. One thing I have in mind is that there must be a limit to the number of these bots since there's only a limited supply of SP available for lease. Perhaps that number was the one shown in your chart - 170.
Also, another data I wanted to see was the % of the total SP of the active bots compared to the total available SP. At least to have an idea how much these bots hold compared to the whole.

Hi @eastmael, thanks for your comments! There's not really a limit to the number of bots (apart from the number of accounts in Steem). The current number of bots is far off from any limit. The amount of SP dedicated to bid-bots in relation to all available SP was analyzed by @abh12345 in the contribution linked in the introduction and was in the order of around 20% of all available SP. Repeating this was not in the scope of this contribution, but to confirm that a fixed "bot-list" approach is suitable and yields correct results.
I can't comment in depth - but another great post... I'm considering putting together a shared access spread sheet to act as a link repository to posts such as yours... just to act as an access point/ record.
Btw - there's an interesting @sndbox-alpha 'quest' that ends today (might be tomo) that you might want to check out - crying out for analysis like this!
PS I think you should use 'steemit' as one if your tags.
Thanks @revisesociology! I didn't know about sndbox-alpha - which quest are you referring to? I'm a bit hesitant to use the steemit tag. There are so many posts with this tag that have nothing to do with steemit (including mine, tbh?!). With the new utopian system two tags are already taken for that, so I have to chose carefully ;)
The latest sndbox quest seems very open to any kind of kind of tech initiative, it's almost so vague in its remit that they're screaming for anyone to get on board! Understandable.
You should use steemit tag I think if yer post is actually about steemit, which yours usually are, even if others are misusing.
I wonder how easy it is to determine which percentage of the reward pool is related to upvotes from paid bots?
If we would know the total SP available then we would be pretty close I guess?
More accurate would be to know the total SP being used to upvote. Can I find this somewhere? Or do you already know the answer?
