RE: On counting paid voting services - and their number was never that high!
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.
