Interessant. Ich freue mich auf weitere Statistiken über die Bots und was das ausmacht auf steemit:)

Crazy crazy how this works... 
So its really helpful to send 0.1 to Bots 🤔

Great analysis! We should store these numbers daily. Then we can make cool graphs :) 

Edit: here is my %16... :)

Wusst ichs doch! Alle sind nur wegen dem Geld hier und bleiben auch wegen dem Geld. 
Kein Fisch in dem verfickten Ozean interessiert sich für die Community.

Hey @felixxx , this is a great post , that will surely help this community. Most people here are not aware or doesn't know this.
I would like to add a quote here , that may be helpful to bloggers on this platform;

Why You Should Upvote Comments!!!!
I've noticed alot of people doesnt reward their followers, and their commenters on here.
It's a shame.
When someone takes the time to not only read your post but to leave a comment. Even throwing your small vote their way does a lot of great things...
They are More Likely To Follow You;
I'm not saying you should upvote every single comment you get. I try and look for those that I feel provide value to the post. When they see that you upvoted their comment and they will be rewarded as a result. This encourages them to follow you; Then you'll have a regular on your post!
You can grow your followers so that they can grow you;
If they choose to keep their Steem in their account, They may power it up. If you continuously are upvoting their great comments, then they will steadily grow overtime. Their vote will be worth even more, and they'll be able to upvote you, The upvotes you gave them helps them grow, so they have more power on the platform.

I'm not fund of the linear reward system either. I like people are using the bots just to create awareness how bad it can become. I myself am guilty of using them from time to time. But overall I hope its just a period of steemit and the boosters one day will be of the past.

Ich bin nur knapp zwei Monate dabei und ich stolper immer wieder über das Thema Reward Pool und Booster. Das Booster aus reiner Nächstenliebe betrieben werden sei mal dahin gestellt. Und es ist auch eine Lüge, dass Bots gleichzusetzen sind mit Werbung für den eigenen Post.

Hin und wieder wünsche ich mir mehr Sichtbarkeit, zwischen all den Post und experimentiere im Moment mit Bots, es hilft nicht viel, stärkt aber den eigenen Ego :D Jedenfalls mir scheint es nicht zu helfen. Ich scheine sogar etwas dadurch zu verlieren. Ob es manchen dadurch gelingt wirklich Geld zu drucken oder ganz allein nur den Botbetreibern hilft, sehe ich noch.

Steemit scheint zu einem eigenen kleinen Wirtschaftssystem geworden zu sein. Für die einen Hoffnung auf Gehör, für die anderen Gelddruckmaschine.

I don't wish it for Steemit but if we don't fix this issue of paying for upvotes it will kill the platform. It is already become like a boring monopoly game where someone owns all the hotels and no matter what you try you're never going to come out as winner.

This is an *interesting phenomenon* ...
or should I rather say, that I dislike the bots? Distributing 16% of everything compared to the little amount of accounts they have? Isn't that some ridiculous amount of power ... in buyable, automated hands ? (Why do I suddenly need to think of real world politics ...)

Interesting break down!

If I don't use boosters then nobody sees my posts. I consider my content good quality but doesn't everyone :)

Bots can't be blamed on linear rewards, I don't think. Another aspect you should include is how much is added to the post, after the bot votes. You might have to control for those votes that also followed the author, but I think it would be closer to 25 or 30% of the pool. But, why were the payouts so low in that 24 hour window, anyway?

there are many boosters on steemit like @boomrange , @upme @appreciator ,  @minnowbooster but no any one give back profits but @ minnow booster is not give you loss because he give back your sbd and some steem and other bots are not properly give profits they are bid bots and they all give you loss. for example you sent 3.5 sbd to upme and he give loss 1.5 . because he give you back 1 steem but if you buy steem by 
 1sbd on block trade then they give you 1,something and upme give you one steem on 1.5. then you make lose from bid bots

I dont think the linear reward curve is to blame. People will find a way to work the system whatever the reward curve is; their methods will be adjusted to the rules *du jour*. Posting quality isn't, and has rarely been a consideration.

Ich verstehs eh nicht, benutze keinen einzigen Booster... glaube nicht dass das Sinn und Zweck sein sollte und ich muss ehrlich sagen so wie das hier alles zugeht glaube ich zumindest wie es im Moment mit allem ist nicht gut für die Zukunft aussieht....

16% sounds like a lot! Given that are relatively few booster accounts. 

It would be very useful to see the trends over time, then again I loves data analysis posts!

Maybe a 'top 20 users list of shame' could be added in too - although you might want to call it something different!

Goid effort, even with all the problems filtering the data.

You have convinced me. Linear rewards have to go.

Thanks for conducting this analysis. Even if the 16% is an approximation, I consider it a highly descriptive metric for the new _pay for exposure_ -economy that has arisen since HF 19.

I would like to see this updated at least on a monthly basis.

Cheers!

(self-voted with 16% to make a point)
