RE: Utopian-io Vote Analysis: May 2019

Thanks Asher!

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:

  • Whether to change the structure of upvoting on moderators comments and lower reward categories to compensate for the contingent linear reward curve. It will be more efficient to aggregate and make single larger upvotes covering a number of reviews than many smaller ones.
  • Whether to adjust vote percentages for each category given the change in author / curation split.
  • What to do with the downvotes. Something with the antiabuse team or some kind of FOSS initiative to find a way to uncover systematic abuse?

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!
