RE: Steemit Statistics - 2017.06.16
These are interesting stats. Very happy to see Posts and Comments trend (no. 2), but a bit confused reg. Payout Evolution (no. 8).
Does this mean steemit witnessed the boom in Jul-Aug 2016 and has been absolutely quiet till now? With so many whales and dolphins here, why don't we see the spike for a single post payment like last year?
It might mean diversity in today's content or simply that whales and dolphins are conserving their VP! I hope it is the former
The platform paid way too much for some post last year. The economic system (i.e. the underlying code) has been changed to avoid repeating the same mistake and have a better distribution of payout.
@arcange I wonder if last year's huge "payout figures" might have been a good launching strategy. It could look like six months on Beta - attracting all the geeks - then rolling it out so as to attract media attention. Were these huge payout spikes a "surprise" or was it "programmed"?
Either way, it worked and let's hope that steemit is now surfing smoothly enough on its own... merit.
