The 2025 Steem Representative Applicants Statistics

^{Created with Adobe Photoshop 2021.}

Preface

May 2025 presents another Steem Representative recruitment, as announced by Team Steemit via @steemitblog's post here on the 6th.

Along with the recruitment announcement, the Steemit team also announced the cancellation of the community support program (booming vote), and henceforth it will be the obligation of Steem Representatives to submit articles to 4 booming accounts.

Applications are accepted from the time of the announcement until 21 UTC. There is about 2 weeks for any interested Steemian to apply, under the special tag #steemreps2025.

At the time of this writing (25/5), there have been 62 posts in the special tag, including 1 announcement post from @steemitblog, 1 reapplication (recreated because the first post was in the wrong community), and 1 post that did not contain an application, so in total, during the application acceptance period, there have been 59 applications submitted.

Country

The 59 applicants came from 13 countries with the highest number of applicants coming from Venezuela.

In my growing database of Steem users, there are currently 3066 usernames (active and dormant), coming from 81 countries (including the Unknown category), with the most users coming from Venezuela (631 accounts = 20.58%). Let's see the list of the 20 countries with the most users (active and dormant, based on my database):

Only 10 countries from the list of 20 countries with the most users applied. The remaining 3 countries of origin of other applicants can be seen in the following table:

Gender

26 Female, 32 Male and 1 unknown gender (@disconnect).

Club

Notes: In these statistics, Club determination was done using the Telegram bot @cotify.

Almost 50% (27) of the applicants were in Club5050, and the majority of the rest (17/32 = 53.13%, or 28.81% of all applicants) were not in any Club.

SP Range

The majority (28 = 47.46%) applied with SP below the minimum amount required by Team Steemit. However, the number of applicants who had SP above the desired minimum was still greater. So if SP is an important determinant, then 28 applicants clearly won't stand a chance.

Closing

Whoever will be elected will definitely have gone through special consideration from Team Steemit, are deemed worthy of the position, and hopefully able to carry out the functions attached to his position properly.

Thanks for reading.
