STEEMIT STATS! Payout Value against Length of Post

in steemit •  7 years ago 

Ever wondered if longer posts tend to have a higher payout value? Analyzing 5000 posts, it turns out that there is only a weak correlation between them! I took the 5000 newest posts that are at least 2 days old, and analyzed their pending payout value and post length in number of characters. This was done using a simple python script and the Steem library.

postLength = len(s.get_content(c['author'],c['permlink'])['body'])

payoutValue = s.get_content(c['author'],c['permlink'])['pending_payout_value']

Plotting a scatter plot on a logarithmic scale, we see the following:

Now similarly, with a trendline, we see a r=0.301, which indicates weak correlation.

What other interesting things are there about this plot? Comment below!

That is very interesting thanks. One thing I noticed is you need to write at least 100 words to have any chance of earning well, that's a good tip to discover from you, thanks!

Man you are a genius , maths always blows away my mind , keep posting articles like this.
Content is the key my friend ,post engagement then follows

I did a similar type of analysis but it was based on my account rather than a large scale analysis. I wonder if you would be interested in collaborating on some #blockchainbi related analysis posts and create some data visualizations?
