Hmmm. So are you saying that out of 1million Steem accounts, 12% of SP is tied up in bots, or are you saying that out of the active users, 12% is tied in bots.
Its of an immense importance what stats you pulled.
If its the stats from option 1... That means little to nothing. Trending page is dynamic and current, the idle accounts mean nothing to it. (and you know fair well that some idle accounts hold massive amounts of SP)
The important stats are those of active accounts, those that participate in reward distribution, that being through delegation to bots (or other accounts) or through organic upvoting.
Those that affect the trending page are those that hold SP that is used in the reward distribution. Simple as that.
Sry to say, but your stats are slightly deceptive.
Out of all accounts, ~11.111% Steem Power is in bots.
But if you factor in active accounts, the number will be higher.
👏 just take... Val-a, Val-b and Ned and you have circa 4 million SP right there....but you have to admit this post is a red herring. Youre drawing a argument not one critic with at least the basic knowledge of the inner workings of steem would be making.
And attacking the bot delegation % criticism.
The criticism pertains to bot use-trending page effect.... And really... What argument are you trying to make here from a position of a bot owner?
Is it close to 50% of active user base SP?.. Id take that bet.
