An update to the lists produced last weekend - Both Steem Power usage and Downvote numbers are up considerably.

Further to this post and this post and a couple of requests elsewhere, some more numbers on downvotes and payouts following the recent fork.

The table below shows the number of downvotes and total SP going into downvotes, using the weight of each vote and the SP owned by the voter.

e.g. If a voter had 1000 SP and cast a 50% downvote, that would be 500 SP added to the days total.

And the chart for the table above.

Excluding the 2nd September when there were 'issues', the number of downvotes have increased markedly and in the past 4 days, an average over over 100,000,000 SP has been used to downvote - the equivalent of around 30 100% blocktrades downvotes each day.

This past week, there have been some notable changes in voting patterns, but there is still much left to do to get everyone (unlikely?) involved in #newsteem.

In the posts last week, I provided lists of posts and users that had received little engagement on their content. Those lists have been updated below, and I've added a couple more relating to comments (replies).

Whilst the entries on the lists below by no means assures the content is of low quality and deserves less reward, the lists provide at least one angle (engagement) into the value of content.

The list below is all posts > $30 pending payout that have less than 3 comments.

The '@' has been left out of the link - you will need to add the '@' before the username

The top earners on Posts, > 24 hours and < 7 days old, with pending payouts that have less than 20 replies across all their content.

The top earners on Comments, > 24 hours and < 7 days old

Ordered by $ per comment

Ordered by $ pending

As an example of why each post/account should be researched before any action is taken, 'steemchiller' (developer of steemworld.org) does, in my opinion, deserve every cent rewarded to him and more.

And finally, a chart showing STEEM transfers (memos starting with 'https') to some of the more popular bid-bots.

Steemium and Minnowbooster aren't included as they ruin the scale but there is a decline there also.

Have a good weekend,
