Can the Data Tell us Why Ned Undelegated so much Steem Power? Steemit Business Intelligence

in #steemit7 years ago

As fast as it was given it was taken back.  That’s right, Ned has undelegated nearly all the Steem Power that he delegate in August.

The lucky steemains @htliao, @linuslee0216, @nicolemoker, @surpassinggoogle, @sweetsssj @tumutanzi and @ramengirl   between them received million worth of Steem vests power, which lasted from the 8th August until yesterday

Then, for some reason @ned undelegated all of the Steem Power Except that to @surpassinggoogle.

When the delegation happened, I analysed the voting habits of these steemains before and after receiving the extra power and the findings were very interesting. 

If you missed that series of post, you can access them via this link

https://steemit.com/stats/@paulag/how-neds-delegated-power-is-used-part-4-steemit-business-analysis

So why was the delegation removed? Being the data person, I decided to see if the data could shed some light on the situation.

Looking at each of these Steemains I have taken the data from Steemsql held by   @arcange 

High Level Overview – Votes

For this analysis I have taken the votes made during the period of delegation.  The 100% vote worth was taken as the vote worth the day the delegation was made.

  

Based on these values $457K was rewarded in votes from these steemains, with an average of over 3.9K votes per day.  Well ahead with the number of votes per day is @surpassinggoogle, voting X6 more per day than @nicolemoker.  We can also see that @surpassinggoogle has an average voting weight of below 4%.  Voting over 1300 times a day, this does not surprise me.  

In terms of pay-outs, in total @sweetsssj has paid out the most in rewards.

Detailed data on Votes

  

The pie chart above shows a break down per voter of unique authors voted for. @surprassinggoogle is really spreading the joy reaching over 2925 different authors, or 43% of all the authors voted for with this extra delegated power.

A lot of authors got votes over the 77 days of delegation.  The tables below shows the authors rewarded with the most $ with this delegated power

 

 We can see from these tables that a number of authors did rather well from this power.  Each voter, except @surpassinggoogle has paid out over $1k to a few authors.  In fact the table below shows the % of each voter pay-outs that went to their 10 favourite authors.

   

Combining all of this data into one chart, it is easy to see who has gained the most on a cumulative basis from this delegation.  I am not surprised to see that @surpassinggoogle has not made it to this list.

 

Take a look at the network chart below.  There seems to be 3 clusters. @surpassinggoogle and the people he has voted for, @ramengirl and her votes and then the others that received delegation seem to very much share a lot of authors that have received votes.

  

Are you surprised yet that @ned undelegated his power?

Transfer Data

Along with voting, I have also taken data on transfers for 2017.  I wanted to see if there was a change in trend in the volume and value of transfers.

Looking at the image below, the bar chart on the left shows the number of transfers to each of these steemains. There is a rapid growth in the number of transactions to @sweetsssj and @htliao from August. On the right the bar chart shows the value of the transactions received, and we can see that @tumutanti received considerable more in September than ever before.

 

To put this in a little more perspectives the table below shows a clear representation of these transfers sorted by the total received, from who is was received and how many transactions made up the total.

  

I also decided to have a dig through the memos.  A considerable volume of transactions to both @sweetsssj and @htliao contain links to post in the memo with nothing else.

Reading the top memo on the table below, it very quickly because clear that @htliao was selling votes

  

However there were no memos of the same context for @sweetsssj so my next step was to compare the links given in the memo to votes given by @sweetsssj.  The table on the right shows transfers to @sweetsssj, who it was from, the amount sent and the link in the memo.  The table on the right shows votes given to authors, the value of the vote and the link of the post voted on.

The data clearly shows @sweetsssj was also selling votes.

  

 Within the memo for @htliao were also suggestions that @htliao may be leasing out some power

  

Delegation Data

So a quick check of the data for delegation and I found that only one of the steemains that received this delegated power, also delegated out power

  

Rewards Data

Finally I wanted to have a quick look at rewards claimed by each of these steemain, both author rewards and curator rewards

The chart below shows the rewards claimed in vests

 

So there you have it, the data laid out in a clear way for you to decide why @ned undelegated his power to each of these Steemains except @surprassinggoogle.

own SP!) or some may consider it a good thing to do so.I was gonna upvote but some of your conclusions should be more careful. Like @justyy's SP delegation initiative is to help cn minnows and @htliao supports him by 500SP is no dig deal (don't forget they all have their

One more thing, I know from one of the curators that Ned specifically asked him to curate posts under the cn tag, so it is very normal that their votes do not span across more authors. If you judge their votes by this criteria, it might be misleading and unfair.

Data transparency is the best thing ever, but your analysis and conclusion might be influential, I hope that you can be more careful with that (it's other Steemians' reputation on the line!). Don't come to quick conclusions, let the data speaks for itself and let everyone have their own opinion. Although, Ned, the SP owner, should be the ultimate judge of that.

For the record, I have never ever asked or even hinted these curators to upvote my posts, ever.

Still, I really like your data and thinking. Just hope you can be more careful.

I shouldn't have to be careful - isn't steemit about freedom of speech? and if it is on the block chain then is is not a secret. Why should I be careful saying it as it is? I am sick of pussy footing around Steemit in case I piss people off. There is so much in the data that is 'Obvious' if people would only open their eyes. But say it and I will be downvoted. My career on steemit over

I also never said anything about @htliaos delegation begin a big deal, I just mentioned that it is happening.

By the way, I have received upvotes from some of the people mentioned in this , but like you, I have never asked our hinted that they do so, nor did I pay for a vote.

@paulag I think your reply to @deanliu is a bit harsh, considering she is just reminding you that data needs to be interpreted in context. And it is not about freedom of speech. It's about being careful about all the data that you gather and whether there are factors you have not considered before making conclusions that put others on the line. I think by now there have been a lot of voices pointing out that for example @justyy using the said transfers to help minnows, or evidence that @htliao has ignored rather than sell vote to steemians who tried to buy him. However, these argument and evidence would have been drowned out by the preposition that this article has presented - people already think everyone who was mentioned in the article is guilty. I am not here to say it has or has not happened, but as a person in real life who suffers a lot from data being interpreted out of context, I just want to say be careful, because data speaks the truth, but when you don't have all the data, ie the rest of the context, seemingly correct conclusions can be wrong.


Thankyou for your service.You're exactly what this site needs, @paulag.

Say it like it is. You have every right to stop pussy footing around. You are what we need: brutal honesty, radical transparency.

Thank you Ms Liu
谢谢 刘前辈^_^

Paula, what a magnificent piece of data mining and analysis! That's part of the beauty of the blockchain-- it's transparent and you can find all this stuff IF you know where to look, and how to retrieve the relevant data.

It doesn't surprise me that @surpassinggoogle comes out on top in the "spreading the wealth" department, which basically translates into "community building" in my eyes.

bad eggseveryone I am so happy he will continue this act of selflessness.@paulag this is lovely I'm happy that @ned is looking deep into this place, For that I am more than happy to say I really love that guy, Steemit is his baby and he is nurturing it so the name won't be tarnished. Thank God the are being brought to justice. I'm glad he could also see the works of @surpassinggoole. All I pray for Terry is Good health, long life and happiness. Even with his daily life he makes out time to help

I would love to recommend @maryfavour she is a humanitarian, who sponsors people, help the minnows and redfishes. Oh She is indeed a woman of valor, She has made steemit a place to be for everyone and I would love @ned take a look at her project called @redfishpillar . Keep doing the good work @ned and thanks @paulag for this awesome news.

I support this call for @maryfavour to be considered for delegation. To put it in a simple sentence, she's one of the chief guardians of Steemit community; very just in her activities.

I second this, as @maryfavour is a guardian.

@sweetestglo-eu I seriously can't agree less with you on this .... I wish a similar statistics can be carried out on @redfishpillar of @maryfavour s account and it will be seen the account should be considered as well to serve steemians well ... Not really surprised about @surpassinggoogle s record here, Terry is really doing great to all steemians ... I really want to say I big thank you to @paulag for this great analysis he did in this post as this will help to understand how transparent the system is and help to clear the whole messy issue attached to the undelegated SP

@ramengirl Has consistently been voting on her own post during the last day.

This was to attract more votes with a reasonably low reward while still self-rewarding at full strength around the end.

This is not how SP is intended to be used, it's intended to be used to give exposure to your post and let the market be the judge of the outcome.

BTW: I'm really not a fan of "superficial Japanese feel good selfies" posts.

hay @transisto - thanks for the input here. I have to admit I self vote, but with the purpose you mention, to give my post that first bit of exposure. My 5 cents wont get me to the trending page thou!


You want to speak with data. Therefore, I believe you need to make sure your data are correct.



Please check your data first.
Thanks@paulag, I do appreciate your work and the coverage of you analysis. I also like to do this kind of works. I cannot agree with some of your conclusions, but I don't want discuss these today. In this chart, my understanding is, on average, @nicolemoker votes 207 times per day. Is it correct? @surpassinggoogle votes 1,327 times per day, correct? These numbers does not make sense at all. Assume @surpassinggoogle votes once per minute, he needs 22 hours to finish all the votes.

lol I like where you are trying to go with this, but this was not a post about bots, and you and I both know the data is correct, unless you are saying someone has the ability to alter the blockchain data?

all the facts. I don't think anyone is really readingI think @nationalpark points out a very intersting thing. Steemit is not a full time job even for those who was delegaged huge amount of SP by @ned. Check out this post, and you will know how hard @tumutanzi was working to upvote. https://steemit.com/cn/@justyy/r-tutorial-knowing-when-a-steem-whale-vote-r-steem. We are humans and not bots. You cannot expect human to work 24/7. I believe what @ned needs are human instead of bots. Again, it's better for you to point out these posts if they upvote too much a day. From what I saw in cn community, @tumutanzi set a very good example for minnows regarding creating good posts. FYI, I did not benefit a lot from those delegated SP and I do not know any of them in person.

At first, I believed @paulag's data and amazed that @surpassinggoogle can vote so many times per day. Then I noticed the chart shows @nicolemoker votes more than 200 times per day on average. This number is definitely wrong. My SQL skill is not that good, but I have common sense and I am very good at analysis. I observed some of the voters before and I checked @nicolemocker's voting before. By no meaning she can vote 200 times per day. I am pretty sure her data have errors, though I don't know why.

I don't agree some of @paulag's conclusions. However, before we can discuss these conclusions, we need to make sure her data are correct. Otherwise, her conclusions are totally baseless.

I only checked average vote per day in the post. I did not check other data. Because these data are not correct, it makes me suspect all the data in this post.

I was surprised @surpassggoogle could vote 22 hours if he vote once per minute. From @paulag's data, my conclusion is that @surpassggoogle used bot to vote. But when saw @nicolemocker's voting time per day, I know immediately it's wrong. Therefore, I suggest @paulag to check all her data throughly before she jumps to any conclusions.

@surpassggoogle, do you believe you votes more than one thousand times each day? Do you use bot? Tell @paulag she is wrong, please.

I know your data are not correct. Please check it.
Nobody can alter blockchain, but human can make mistakes.

Looking more carefully at the data this time:

I took a look at the table vs the line chart in that image, and they can't be referencing the same data or the same time span. For example, in the chart @surpassinggoogle has a peak close to 700, yet in the table the average for @surpassinggoogle is 1327. I don't think that is mathematically possible. Based on the line chart, the average for @surpassinggoogle would have to be less than 700...

@surpassinggoogle votes 1,327 times per day, correct?

I think it speaks as "average"-- correct me if i'm wrong

Yes, I totally understand it's average. That's what I am talking about: on average he needs 22 hours to vote if he votes once per minutes, if
My conclusion is: her data are not correct. I only checked the data in the first chart and it's not correct. It makes me suspect the whole report.
Before I can discuss other issues with her, she need to make sure she shows correct data. @paulag's data are correct.

@paulag, do you know how happy I am? Well, my joy knew no bound with this data analysis, thanks for @maryfavour who resteemed this to my visibility, first thing is that this post shows us that nothing is hidden where there is data...... Thanks to @arcange.

humanity is the next brother to youWell, I'm not surprised to see the result, indeed, everyone knows who has done more good in the community, whenever I look at mentorship of @surpassinggoogle to me on doing good, I always smile, because I value lives and he does too...... for more clarification he wrote on something that gives joy the most recently in this post

I'm happy he is a doer of what he does preach all the time.....

Humm.... So also, I appreciate the brilliance of @ned, @ned you are indeed someone worthy of running a blockchain network...... Special Kudos to you....

@ned please leave the delegated steem power with surpassinggoogle, he is the only one that can help all Steemian at large..... and also you can add more to it.

Humanity is the brother next to you. How well are you treating them?

Humanity is the brother next to you. How well are you treating them?

The man called @surpassinggoogle is an enigma.

Great data ,as always @paulag Honestly, I would love to see @ned delegate to the largest Steemit help community there is, Minnow support project. MSP has 5000 members and does alot to help minnows on Steemit, and a delegation from someone that has that kind of SP could help tremendously, and MSP has its own anti abuse team.

Of course I am bias, as I am one of the community leaders. But I am also being honest... MSP needs help from large delegators like @ned and that SP could goto helping ALOT of minnows that desperately need it

Agreed. It really is shameful to see this kind of behavior from so-called top contributors. I get it; selling votes isn't technically against the rules. Still, it's absolutely ugly. If we get on Jerry for selling courses composed of free information, how do you think this kind of practice is seen?

At least he undelegated it.

that is a good idea - hay @ned if you are reading this, minnow support is an awesome project

Yes @ned could help MSP so that a lot of minnows can be helped to also grow. This platform should should be one with a human face and not the grab-grab type . Thank you @followbtcnews for this.

I enjoy most of the unbiased presentation on the data you've accumulated and analyzed, except for the assertions such as "The data clearly show that @XXXX are selling votes" :)

The report could be more neutral if such strong language wasn't used and just presented the data.

'The report could be more neutral if such strong language wasn't used and just presented the data'

It is hard to please everyone. I have been criticized in the past for not voicing my opinion on the data

Thank you @paulag for voicing your opinion... We should call a spade a spade for the health of the community... Clearly what we see is what we get.

So... I can send you some SBD with a link to my post in the memo, and someone else can see that on the blockchain and make a post stating that you are selling votes when in fact you are not?

Thats why I voted @steemgigs as witness.. its @surpassinggoogle's project... give a vote for a great cause and a selfless person..



I would like to say you've dig out a lot of data which is the value of this post. However, it is clear to me that your conclusion had been deliberately set to make other people think to the direction you would like to, which is a very commonly used technique in business world to "achieve your goal by just selectively present data favour your conclusion". Again, this was nicely done and I believe many people who didn't care about the turth would very much like to see your conclusion.

aafrin_1.png@paulag what I can said is this is a very good example of selective presentation of data to frame people. Nice work! First of all, I have to declare my interests, I am one of the guy who @htliao, @nicolemoker and @linuslee0216 often voted, this was because we are from Hong Kong and we joined Steemit at almost the same time due to introduction of same person. Let's see that "Fact" that you use to conclude @htliao was selling votes, it was messages from @aafrin sent to @htliao asking for upvotes, sounds good proof! But let's see what @aafrin did:

aafrin_2.png

aafrin_3.png

aafrin_4.png


Our fellow steemian like to send lots of messages to others who got plenty of SP for upvote. So I guess it is very natural for @aafrin to do the same thing to @htliao. Guess what? I think he didn't get anything he needed in return that's why for later 18 days, no one went to @htliao for upvote business! What a failure @htliao was in the selling votes business!!!!! Maybe @ned undelegated his SP because @htliao could not sell votes well?


htliao_2.pnghtliao_1.pngLet me show you all something else, there was another Steemian did the same thing by sending 1SBD to @htliao and ask for vote, and @htliao didn't do anything!!!!


What a bad businessman @htliao was if he was selling vote! I think you did the right thing by point out @htliao was not doing good in selling vote! No wonder @ned took the SP back! I think @ned likes people who know how to use bot to vote and for those who really care about contents by looking into the posts before they votes, which made them cannot votes over thousands time per day, @ned thought them are not effective and took the SP back! That's the concluson I draw from your data. Thanks for the data!

Hmm, didn't knew @htliao was also selling votes. I could have bought some. Even though sweetsssj was also selling votes, but I guess it was really helping many minnows. She was certainly giving a good ROI. I guess that was also a kind of help.

As for Ned undelegating his SP, I think it was more of a experiment. Maybe now he will delegate it to some other people with different community. I don't think it has anything to do with their use of the delegated SP. Otherwise he wouldn't have undelegated the SP from 6 at the same time.

Between, sweetsssj is the second biggest upvoter of this post!!!

Yes I have seen @sweetsssj has upvoted, something I am happy to see, and readers of this post should also be happy to hear this. It shows a certain strength that others would not posses. And yes the roi was good!

Yes hehe....Terry is my man
Am glad I made the right decision
Vote for @steemgigs now...vote right!!!

You are so detailed and meticulous, bless you for this. I for one have known @surpassinggoogle as someone who can change the World if given the power. I pray for Good health for him and i pray for the best form of power to take him to the top where his influence could be felt more than this.

We are not related by blood but by the fellowship of togetherness, i am extremely proud of this man called "Terry"

This is why I love data. It just shows you cold hard facts.

When people do things on the steem blockchain, they quickly forget that everything is tranparent on it. No wonder it is said that the blockchain is truth. I'm glad to see this statistics about @surpassinggoogle and others. The next group I have in mind for them to analyze their activities is ...

@maryfavour for @redfishpillar

Some do not realize that most transactions here are open and free to be viewed by anyone.

and many do not care...

this is so true

Data is the new water. Next big thing in the world.

Wow.. this is real digging deep. I love the presentation of these facts. Well laid and articulate, feels like I'm watching some CNBC for some sec. Now @surpassinggoogle has surpassed expectations once again. He deserves the delegation over and over. And I do hope the next beneficiaries will be a community builder like him.

birds of the same feather they say, flocks together.On who to get the next delegation of SP, I believe @surpassinggoogle can find people of like minds with him. @ned should ask @surpassinggoogle to submit a list of selfless people he knows. This is the most effective way to get a great team that can work together and spread the love which this platform stands for,

Well, Based on logistics, @paulag this is not a surprise! @surpassinggoogle have been a steemit career changer! He's been putting smiles on the face of steemians thereby making them to work hard and bring out the best in them! I just hope @ned increase his delegated power!

Surpassinggoogle really deserves all the SP he gets and more!!!!

Holly SH#T This is brilliant. The time you have taken to research this data is alone incredible. @surpassinggoogle is one of a kind obviously. I see some of those high earning authors looking out for themselves which is not cool as it takes away the whole meaning of earning with steemit. So We see that the UPPERCLASS LOOK AFTER UPPERCLASS just like social status.

@surpassinggoogle is truly surpassing google and more. He's touching lives on steemit through his untalented contest. I'm happy for him. He's a great community builder with a selfless heart and he deserves all the steem power. This serves as a reminder to us all on what steemit is all about, "spreading love on a blockchain". @surpassinggoogle has implemented the law of sowing and reaping. After sowing into the lives of so many steemians, he will surely reap a lot of rewards. Let's all emulate his behaviour. Keep steeming!

Doing a secret deal on steemit? Forget it. No secret deals here. Every good deed must be seen and applauded, so are the bad ones to be condemned. Congratulations @surpassinggoogle, you have been awesome. It takes a lot of will not to abuse such a power. Stay awesome. Thank you @paulag, without you, we can only wonder why.

oh there are still ways to do steemit secret deals without people finding out from the blockchain. :-( I am sure there is a lot of steem 'swaped' off steemit!

Yay for people like you who are willing to wade through and analyze the data!

It's amazing what can be seen. Good on @surpassinggoogle for staying true to his convictions.

I'm surprised the circle jerk was allowed to go on for as long as it did. Kudos to @surpassinggoogle for setting an example of what to do with power when it is given to you.

Hello @paulag

This comes as no surprise to me. @surpassinggoogle is a community builder.

You cannot measure how proud I am of him at this moment. He has given thousands of people hope on this platform.

He deserves all the SP he has and more.

I won't be surprised if @ned increases his delegation.

We need more Surpassinggoogles.

@ogochukwu

#blockchain-blogger

Thank you Paula's for continuing to do these amazing data breakdowns. We are fortunate that the blockchain affords complete transparency and we can at least investigate on our own without having to do foia requests. I'm happy to see that one of these users managed to spread the votes to thousands of people. That is truly a great way to use a delegation gift!

the blockchain shows transparency, but I am not sure Steemit does. Said to say but steemit does not represent all of the blockchain, and there are transactions in the blockchain I am yet to find on steemit

@surpassinggoogle has surpassed google yet again.

As it stands now, he was the only one found worth of the tag witness. Its not all about the delegation of power to you but what you are going to do with the power. God bless Nigeria!

Keep steeming!

hi @paulag,

I read your article 2 hours ago, I think the data may be right, but some of your conclusions should be wrong.

In recent months, in order to active steemit atmosphere, to encourage and attract more people to join the steemit, I organized several major activities, these donations are used to reward to those who participate in steemit activities or winners .

In addition,I personally take part of SBD from my account every month, to encourage and reward to those who contribute to Steemit.

So if you are interested, you could read some articles which I post on Steemit before.

Thanks for your efforts on Steemit.

Best regards!

@rivalhw

Now it all makes sense, kudos to @surpassinggoogle!

Thank you for the analysis.

hay @justyy, thanks for dropping by. I know there is some controversy as to the contents of this post, but I also know by leaving a comment that you have nothing to shy away from. Thanks again :-)

the facts, but the issue is you are not pointing out all the factsIt will be more comprehensive if you dip deeper and consider all the related facts as well. Just a piece of advice for you.Hi @paulag, thanks for your analysis. There is no problem at all you point out , which may mislead people in some way. For example, the SP delegated to @justyy by @htliao is used to help minnows in cn Community. Moreover, 500 SP is negligible for @htliao, compared to the total amount delegated to him by @ned, not to say that he has his own SP as well before this delegation.

Thank yo uPaula for always being there to pull the data so that we don't have to come up with theories. The data gives a very clear picture of what is going on, some will dispute the selling votes claim, but the proof is in the pudding.

So the next question is, will @ned find other worthy Steemians like @surpassinggoogle to give delegations to? Or was this a one time experiment whose day is done?

Someone suggested in another post that he delegate to @curie. I think efforts like Curie that are out and manually curating are a great place to look, and would endorse that sort of delegation whole heartedly, along with other curation teams like @OCD, @acidyo, and @buildawhale. People and groups with a proven track record of good curation and transparancy in what they are doing.

I hope someone gets him to talk about these things at Steemfest!

Yes @curie is doing a lot too and should merit this gesture.

Yes @curie is doing a lot too and should merit this gesture.

i still won't be able to conclude on the why but this is interesting informatiion. particularly that 2nd half of this post to just before the end.

I'm glad that some of the people doing questionable things with their delegation are being called out with what the data shows. Selling votes when the CEO delegated you the power is a bit questionable to me. On the other hand, it's awesome to see that the delegated Steem Power given to @surpassinggoogle was not taken back, as he is always around spreading the love and just making this place better each day. The amount of lives touched by him alone is tremendous.

Thanks for putting out this article for everyone to get an idea of what is going on thru the numbers, while not adding any personal opinions and really just letting the numbers do the talking. I will be sure to resteem to my followers :)

I really appreciate your data analysis. I was also wondering why ned took back the SP all of a sudden with no explanation. Gossip is fun, but one can never be careful enough if the gossip affects others' reputation. Data can prove as well as data can cheat. I guess there must be something wrong either with your data or with the way you presented your data. It would be much helpful if your data analysis is reproducible. Would be appreciated if you could kindly share your excel sheets.

Brilliant work Paula

Enter yourself for BI post of the week please!

As many say, they knew what was coming RE: voting bias/selling/spread.

With that much SP, you can make 100 different people a day happy. @surpassinggoogle did that, this is community building.

Great data mining work!

surpassinggoogle has shown himself to be a good steward of money and power, I don't see anyone whiteknighting for the others, which speaks volumes

I really love this chart.

It just shows like a universe or a circle of friends protecting or wrapping around someone. Particularly that of @surpassinggoogle.

Some points just really have to be pointed out bluntly, otherwise there's a space there that will be prone to misinterpretation.

Exactly! This was my major highlight of the whole analysis.

I didn't need any of this data to know what happened.
However, amazing job!

No on 'needed this data', it is all already there an available. Thanks for your kind words

Seriously, the post was fantastic.
I knew what happened, but for those that didn't, you hit a homerun.

But organizing the data for us was an excellent feat. Especially where you had that crowd around each user.

Just like everyone said its not a surprise @surpassinggoogle was left with his delegated SP


And steemgigs which also helps minnowsWith his #Untalented contest he has helped lots of minnows

He has made minnows quite active on steemit
Giving back to the community
He should even be given more SP
He deserves it.

I love you for this analysis, @paulag. I must say that the true attitude of a man manifest when he's given power. Truth is that we Nigerians are generous, selfless, kind and very loving. Thanks to @surpassinggoogle for representing us well. @greatness96.

@paulag i really was expecting this post from you and you did a great job RESPECT ;) you are amazing when you play with data WoOoW

Now it all makes sense, kudos to @surpassinggoogle!

You rock at data @paulag

Data don't lie.This is a beautiful analysis.Thank you for doing this

Thank you for the analysis. I liked your previous analysis reports which show lots of insight information.

It seems some of your calculation results are WRONG.

As far as I know, I usually upvoted 100 times daily during the delegation period. Each day I had 20% voting power and thus 1000% voting weight, so on average 10% voting weight for each upvote.

As for some conclusions you made, I do not want to comments given your calculation is not that right.

I did post some background information: "Data is king, so is the interpretation?" to help people better interpret the RIGHT data.

BTW, the latest two posts (Can the Gossip Tell us Why Ned Undelegated SP? The answer is no & Observation and Analysis - Who is the Best Curator 观察与分析之最好的点赞者) give us more information on how to get the right data.

@ramengirl was always voting on her own post during the last day.

This was to attract more votes with a reasonably low reward while still self-rewarding at full strength around the end.

This is not how SP is intended to be used, it's intended to be used to give exposure to your post and let the market be the judge of the outcome.

BTW: I'm really not a fan of "superficial Japanese feel good selfies" posts.

Based on these values $457K was rewarded in votes from these steemains, with an average of over 3.9K votes per day. Well ahead with the number of votes per day is @surpassinggoogle, voting X6 more per day than @nicolemoker. We can also see that @surpassinggoogle has an average voting weight of below 4%. Voting over 1300 times a day, this does not surprise me.

Hello @paulag i am so not surprised that @surpassinggoogle had the highest number of people voted for,he has been a blessing to the society,he bas touched so many lives as far as i am concerned,he has made a positive name for himself to the society and for this i appreciate all your good works @surpassinggoogle more grease to your elbow.

Those who are still reading this post, please read my post as a correction: can the gossip tell us why ned undelegated sp? the answer is no

hi @paulag,

I read your article 2 hours ago, I think the data may be right, but some of your conclusions should be wrong.

In recent months, in order to active steemit atmosphere, to encourage and attract more people to join the steemit, I organized several major activities, the first field also received a lot of money, these donations are used to reward to those who participate in steemit activities or winners .

In addition, I personally own a portion of the monthly SBD, to encourage and reward to those who contribute to Steemit.

So if you are interested, you could read some articles which I post on Steemit .
Thanks for your efforts on Steemit.

Best regards!
