Feb ’18 DMania Steem App Analysis – BlockChain Business Intelligence

<html>
<p>DMania is a fun app built upon the Steem Blockchain that allows you earn STEEM by posting or up voting on memes, funny pictures and videos.</p>
<p>DMania is the brain child of @zombee and the project has received funding from Steemit Inc by way of delegated power from @misterdelegation.</p>
<p>The aim of this analysis is to monitor the monthly activity from @DMania in terms of voting. &nbsp;It is also to analyse posts made via the DMania app and posts made to the DMania category on the STEEM Blockchain</p>
<p>This analysis will be carried out on a monthly basis so that trends can be established and growth measured.</p>
<h2>The Data&nbsp;</h2>
<p>Using PowerBI, I have connected to the SteemSQL database (paid subscription service held and managed by @arcange). &nbsp;</p>
<h2>&nbsp;The Analysis</h2>
<h3>February @DMania Votes Analysis</h3>
<p>&nbsp;https://steemitimages.com/DQmXruu69QvGWde9acVmDdAPF6jA32YAGRC8CZEZBtyPL8L/image.png</p>
<p>In Feb 2018 DMania voted 695 times for 250 Authors. &nbsp;The average vote pay out was SBD $54 and the total approx. pay out given by DMania was SBD $37.81K &nbsp;We can also see from above that the average % voting weight used by @DMania was 39.43% and the average number of votes given per day was 24.8.</p>
<h3>February Voting Time Series</h3>

<h3>Popular Streemers in terms of Upvotes from @DMania</h3>
<p>&nbsp;https://steemitimages.com/DQmZXGcVsnu3w9zBfHjCBBFx26Mm8esKyLpZKrxV5mP3cAa/image.png</p>
<h3>#DMania Tag Post Analysis</h3>
<p>https://steemitimages.com/DQma3akwpLQaAPBbs3pR7zzJXb6eGzY1xGqkmhA1MFf3mAQ/image.png&nbsp;</p>
<p>In February 62K posts were made by 8224 authors receiving 89K comments and 646K votes. The pay-out value of these posts was SBD $73.58K.</p>
<p>The average post pay out in Feb for #DMania posts was $1.18 – substantially lower than the overall post pay out average on the Steemit blockchain</p>
<p>We see above that DMania have given out approx. SBD $37.81K. &nbsp;That equates to 51% of the total rewards for this category/tag/app</p>
<p>These 62K posts received 89K comments from 13.04K authors. &nbsp;The comments received 25K votes and received rewards of SBD $2.61K</p>
<h2>Creators</h2>
<p>Below shows which accounts have posted the most to DMania in the month of February</p>
<p>&nbsp;https://steemitimages.com/DQmUnBtkzBHugSHJ6Q1RZ1aSsE57yp55TiRk1CoPXdKA3Dy/image.png</p>
<p>And the list below shows those that engage with the posts via comments</p>
<p>&nbsp;https://steemitimages.com/DQmdqNzizUVTXNntSUmi1MpumPxuSEzDXkiUhpzZHFs7Q5o/image.png</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>DMania is an awesome project, receiving 62K posts in the month of Feb and voting for 695 of them. This means that almost 1 in 90 posts made will be voted on by @DMania. &nbsp;@DMania voted on average 24.8 times a day in Feb. &nbsp;I am not sure how much of this is manual curation and how they pick the posts they vote on – maybe someone from the DMania team could let me know?</p>
<p>51% of the pay out in this category comes from @DMania. This is lower than other DApps I have reported on however there is also a big difference in the average post pay out for other apps and Steemit in general. For DMania to be self-sufficient this % of pay-out is ideal however for a short time there should be a consideration to increase this to about 75% to boost pay-outs in Dmania.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Welcome to the block @DMania – I wish you every success in with this project. I will be preparing this report on a monthly basis to track the progress of the project</p>

@erikaflynn · Mar 11 '18 (edited)

The list of users who engage with the posts via comments made me smile because most of these commenters are bid-bots. 

And in general, Dmania project surprises me with its strange love to voting bots. Am I the only one who noticed a correlation between the number of bid-bots' votes gathered under a someone's post and the next upcoming upvote from Dmania?

I will be glad to hear that it was only with the posts that caught my eye, and in fact the situation in common is different.

**Btw**, why you do not publish your analyzes through Utopian, you can be rewarded for your hard work?

wish I could post via utopian but as it relates to a single community as such the post will not be accepted

Thanks for doing this analysis, very interesting. I didn't know that many posts are made on dMania.
To answer your question: Currently people that delegated SP to dMania can decide what the bot votes on. It's a pretty complex algorithm, you can read the details in @zombee's newest post.

It's really not that complex. 

Here, I'll sum it up:

It's *pay to play,* just like the overall architecture of Steemit. It's just that instead of paying the whole Steemit blockchain by buying/acquiring SP, you by access to the DMania voting pool by giving it your SP.

Other than a few marginal refinements and a very undefined policy about "abusive users," it's essentially the same system.

The difference is that you can't upvote yourself, only by using multiple accounts, that would be an example of abusing. 
You don't need to Invest/delegate a single penny to dMania. Just many users don't get it  because they post sh*t and then complain that they get no upvotes.
