RE: Utopian-io Vote Analysis: May 2019
Thank you once again for this excellent monthly report on @utopian-io and their vote usage.
The newer 'anti-abuse' category is I think one to keep an eye on going forward and is growing nicely, even before potential incentives arrive for downvoting abuse. The bug-hunting category is on the rise, again - hopefully this wont go into overdrive :)
It's a shame to see Development take another hit, but being one of the most time-consuming and skilled contribution types, I do tend to agree with you that 'time v's money' is not working right now for this category.
Contribution vote timing has reduced down to 1.5 days. Given the time required for review and the broadly once-daily upvote approach, I think that this is as good as it gets.
I think so. As is the case here, I am reviewing within a day on first sighting of the contribution, and it is likely to receive a reward in the next day or so. If the number of contributions rise a lot at some point, I suspect we'll be back (?) at 3 days or so.
Once again, thank you for this piece of work, have a nice week :)

Yes, antiabuse is growing well. It's currently ranking seventh out of the contribution types in the table of distinct contributors per month, which is a good relative measure of the contributing community size. There are 1 or 2 team members also making the top 50 each month.
Bug-hunting just took me by surprise. The vote rewards are quite low, so there must be a really huge number of bugs being reported! I think this also explains the top position in the top 50.
I guess for next month, if HF21 does arrive, it will be interesting to see how Utopian reacts to the reward changes. Potentially there are considerations around:
Thanks for the review!
And I am totally blind, the category is there! Sorry about that - This will teach me to have a coffee before doing anything else in future. I shall edit the above slightly seeing as you have skimmed over my mistake, thanks!
I haven't checked in to see where the bugs are coming from - I wonder if the more frequent updates to steemit.com are causing this rise.
With regards to the potential HF21 changes, I think little will be done prior as far as utopian-io voting and it will be a case of reacting to the new rules of the system.
The community is pretty split on these changes being applied at once, and I read plenty of text who are 'unsure' how free downvotes will be used. I like your idea on removing the timing for curation rewards and think this would give larger accounts more reason to spend time seeking the stuff they want to see raised up the pile - A pile that with the reward curve and a couple of 'free' downvotes could potentially be sorted better as far as trending is concerned.
Cheers!
Thank you for your review, @abh12345! Keep up the good work!
