So much interesting information, amazing job! Especially the image showing @utopian-io's vote timing does a great job of illustrating the problem we were facing with the old bot. Am curious to see how the new one will change the look of this graph (and all the other ones).
As you said, it's not very surprising to see so many translators in the top 50 list. They have beneficiaries set to @utopian.pay by default, so their voting weight is also higher. Also cool to see @emrebeyler topping the development contributors amongst quite a lot of VIPO members who receive an additional bonus.
One thing I would like to point out that there is now also an "iamutopian" category reserved only for moderators and community managers. It seems like you've counted them as contributions to the blog category in this analysis (makes complete sense as they required the blog tag before). They used to be manually upvoted by @elear, but will now also be included in the bot's voting round.
Was definitely surprised to see I am the "hardest working" moderator, haha. I thought @didic would take that one by a mile, to be honest! Will definitely be keeping an eye out for your future posts!
Thanks. However, I got a %100 utopian-io upvote as a prize of the hackathon. This gave me a boost. Also contributions of @stoodkev, @steem-plus may be counted as one for a healthy comparison.
There are a few instances of separate developer / project accounts across the different categories. I thought about adding them together but I don't know enough about who does the actual work for the projects to make any decision. Leaving it "as is" was also less work on the end results.
I think that the distribution of rewards is actually a pretty good shape. No user is miles ahead. There's a good spread with a large number of users are getting some very solid rewards. I'll draw up the distribution at some point to illustrate. My guess is that it compares favourably with that of Steemit as a whole.
Very good point on the utopian.pay addition Amos. I should maybe have adjusted the voting weights awarded to those posts by the corresponding beneficiary percentages to get a better comparison between posts which do/don't have that setting.
I saw the iamutopian category in your post late yesterday and I was happy with capturing them in blog for October. Particularly as I've pretty much run out of colours! But certainly something to separate out in future.
