Hi Paula

While the trending pages are out of reach for many of us, they do provide interest when the stats are gathered and presented each month or so.

The price of STEEM has dropped by 17% however the average pay-out value of a post on trending is down only 13%. This difference can be offset against the increase in the average value of a vote from $0.60 to $.72 (20%) and the decrease in the average number of votes per post of 28%

My main take out is the 28% drop in votes. It's not affect the payouts in trending so much, but I suspect for other blogs it will have.

A 3 tag average is interesting - I may cut mine and see what happens.

Great work!
