Thanks for calling @sorin.cristescu! Here is a small upvote for this post and my opinion about it.

To my mind this post is at least 12 SBD worth and should receive 33 votes.

with 33 votes you are probably not too far. But 12 SBD ... that's disappointing ! Thank you for offering your opinion, trufflepig!

Haha, sorry :-). Still, I wouldn't see it that way. Already over 10 SBD is not bad. The distribution of payouts on this platform is heavily long-tailed with a few posts that get paid at all (some of them extraordinarily though) and the vast majority of posts gets close to nothing.

I did look further into the issue, and I can only emphasize again that 12 SBD is in fact already a very good result! I peaked at the payout distribution in the training set and it is worse than I first anticipated.

The average payout is 6 SBD (and 15 votes) and your post already got twice as much. However, the median payout is - brace yourself - 0.1 SBD (and 5 votes). The distribution is so heavily skewed it's almost unbelievable, more than two thirds of all posts earn less than 1 SBD!

That is a super insight, I would love to see such an analysis being published as post in its own right, it deserves better than being a mere comment (even on my admittedly "outstanding article" :-D))))

Well, actually I use this for weekly updates on @trufflepig now. Note that the numbers come out a bit differently, because I only look at the bot's training data after cleaning, i.e. videos, memes, and photos have been filtered (pushing the average reward down).
