NEW: Top Posts by Votes Ranking With payouts less than 10SBD. Increasing transparency by making invisible visible: 7 charts and 3 tables with daily Steem metrics.
Introduction
This is a version 0.5 of my daily reports designed to be a comprehensive source of Steem metrics. I am working on adding more metrics and visual improvements.
Changelog
- New ranking with a list of 25 posts ordered by number of votes that have a payout less than 10SBD.
How to read
Every chart starts on 1st of June and extends to yesterday. The number on the label attached to the Y axis on the right is the yesterday's value for that chart.
Historical charts have STEEM/USD volume weighted daily price on the Y axis on the left of the chart.
User acquisition
A basic metric of any startup, user acquisition provides insights into the future trends of Steem platform.
Chart is based on number of new accounts grouped by the created date. Only accounts that have performed any of these actions are included: post, comment, vote.
User engagement
A number of engaged accounts grouped by distinct activity. At least one action (vote, post or comment) is required.
Content
High quality content generation has a well positive feedback loop with traffic acquisition through short term viral promotion and long term SEO benefits.
Only posts with >= 2 votes and comments with >= 0 votes are counted.
Daily votes by marine fauna
Number of votes made yesterday by minnows, dolphins and whales by percentiles. Chart shows that most Steem users do not maximize their voting power and therefore do not maximize their curation rewards.
Note: Voting power depletes completely by voting 200 times during 5 days, so this chart has some degree of imprecision.

Payout metrics
Payout data is a sum of pending and past payouts for posts created on the given date.

I'm not sure that 10SBD is the right cut off though. A number is quite arbitrary and I am not sure how to improve this.

What do you think these trends show for the long term? Top payouts are going down, do you think this would diminish the incentive for users to participate?

I am not sure that top payouts going down won't decrease the incentives for the top posters. Consider that many websites pay $100-200 for a long form post or a technical tutorial so top poster rewards will still be a profitable alternative. On the other hand, motivation of the long tail of posters that get less than a few SBDs may decrease dramatically.

Yeah, I'm thinking about merging this with comments ranking to create a more informative snapshot of minnows activity .
