RE: Views of the Market Share of the Steem Blockchain by Application
hey, great analysis! I did a similar thing with a different focus and a shorter time scale around a month ago. At that time I had the impression, that 3rd party apps gain market share relative to steemit. Seeing your data from that time until now it seems that the absolute 3rd part numbers increased, but the steemit numbers even grew faster, effectively reducing the relative 3rd party share. With "posts", you also looked into top level posts, no comments, right? I could imagine that (mobile) apps like esteem could have a slightly higher share for comments.
Ah very cool @crokkon, I hadn't seen that. We need some sort of database to keep track of all the different analyses!
Yes, I just looked at posts, not comments. It reduced the data requirements but also I think is probably a better measure of user buy-in as posts take much more effort (and also make up the bulk of post payouts).
I think that the 3rd party apps will definitely have gained market share in post payout over the last month: utopian in particular and busy have both taken off. Post numbers is more complex because of spam issues which particularly have inflated the steemit and steemjs numbers.
