RE: March Steemit Post Benchmarking Report – BlockChain Business Intelligence
329 posts in a month.. ugh...
March 2017 Votes
March 2018 Votes
This is pathetic. Completely ignoring the fact that Downvotes have declined as a percentage of total votes, it's clear that active curation across the platform has drastically declined.
- 1 vote per post went from 0.51% of total votes to 13.29%. Mathematically, that's more than a 2600% increase! Indicating a significant decline in voter participation.
- 2 to 10 votes per post went from 11.97% of total votes to 50.25%. Nearly a 420% increase! Another indication of declined voter participation.
- 11 to 50 votes per post went from 42.49% of total votes to 22.10%. A decline of approximately 192%.
- 51 to 100 votes per post went from 24.79% of total votes to 4.03%. A decline of more than 615%.
I don't care how many new users are joining Steem(it), or the number of daily active users anymore. These are clear signs of a drastic shift in how the community participates and how much the community cares about each other / the growth of the platform.
I'm not surprised by the numbers, but I'm surely disheartened.
I think this comparison on votes for the same period last year is alarming, however much has changed on Steemit and this include audience choice and what is being posted. As the content type expands it will take some time for the level of curation to also increase as steemit did not come with a ready made audience for all the content types we have now.
I am not overly concerned yet!
