A few more lists today in relation to posts lacking in engagement but earning well and a rough guide on the the Steem Power going into downvotes.

---------------------------

A couple of days ago I posted some [details on the number of downvotes being cast](https://steemit.com/newsteem/@abh12345/64fxuq-downvoting-due-high-rewards-and-a-lack-of-engagement) and the weight going into those votes.  This was a bronze level assessment, and I've got silver for you today.  Gold would be calculating the rshares of the downvote (based on voter SP and VP), but that is above my pay grade.

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.

The daily vote counts are not breaking any records but the last 4 days the SP used has noticeably increased.  It averages at 713 million and the first 26 days of the month average at 318 million.

The average over the first 26 days of the month (hf 21 took place on the 27th Aug) is 157 and over the past 4 days the average number of unique accounts casting a downvote is 345.

-----------------------

While not explosive, the number of accounts and the summed SP downvoting has increased but hasn't match the first full post fork day of the 28th.

It could be that the low-hanging fruit has been picked, if you assume this to be lower quality posts that were in trending and under the heavy influence of bots, and that this type of post not appeared in number since.  

I have been told by a bid-bot operator that bids are down heavily and that they don't think 'many bots will survive this', and I've also seen bots 'gift' votes out to content without a purchase being made, presumably due to a high VP and a desire for curation earnings.

-----------------------

The first couple of days have, to me at least, shown the potential effectiveness of this portion of the EIP, there are certainly more areas other than trending in which rewards are being [systematically drained](https://steemit.com/abuse/@tarazkp/downvoting-is-sweetsss) from the pool.

In the post the other day, I also provided a list of posts that lacked engagement and had a high pending payout attached.  **Whilst this by no means assures the post is of low quality and deserves less reward**, the list was at least a starting point and the contents were viewed by some as worthy downvote candidates.

And so here is an updated list.

And a small collection of high earners (pending payouts > 24 hours < 7 days) with little engagement other than accounts stating reasons for downvoting their content.
