How many of the upvotes are done by paid voting bots?
I wanted to know how many of all upvotes on a daily basis are being done by paid voting services. So I dived into the Steem blockchain and counted all upvotes by all known paid voting bots.

I have made a list of all the known voting bots using https://steembottracker.com.

Here's the result...

Approximately 1.7% of all votes are done by a paid voting service. And as you can see in the chart, the paid votes are quite in line with the total number of votes.

## Daily number of votes

It would be interesting to know how much Steem power does bots have as opposed to human user accounts. Delegated SP can be counted as their own SP. 
Just in case we have a bot vs human war here on Steemit. Who will win.

I've seen several, they say somewhere around 20% directly, but then another percentage is accounted for in bot follow votes to get curation money. Also, this article doesn't take into account the fact that the bots are using delegated votes, so that one bot casts many votes, under different names. I don't think there's any validity to this math at all.

I keep meaning to find the time to do that analysis. But it's pretty difficult as:
o There are many kinds of bots / purchased votes - those on steembottracker but also things like minnowbooster (which upvotes through different accounts so is harder to track, although possible) and "black market" vote sellers too.
o Working out the value of the votes rather than the number of votes is a heavier calculation if you want to do it accurately.

I'll get to it one day!

I think we as a community should come to understanding how bad is it.

Economy of steemit is of great importance and often neglected by developers of the project.

What I would find interesting is which group is using these bots more. Are it the already established Steemians or is everybody using them.
I do have a feeling that it would be mostly used by the more wintered Steemians and the usage will decrease when going down the foodchain.
Also requested this at Penguinpablo, if it is possible to dig this up.
Great work guys.

Votes less than 0.01 sbd are not even counted anywhere. Most minnow and low sp votes are just load for the blockchain.

1.7% of upvotes by paid bots, that doesn't really indicate this is a big issue. Perhaps I have to adjust my opinion?

However I think the value of the upvotes is more important than the number of upvotes. As some of these bots could be the biggest whales around. Perhaps you can also have a look at that?

Nice post. It's helpful to see the data. While only ~2% of votes are by paid bots, I'd guess the percent of voting power from paid bots is much higher.

Not sure I love the multiple y-axes in each plot... it's easy to mistake to the votes and paid votes as being on the same scale. I'd recommend plots like these (from my [recent blog post](http://blog.dhimmel.com/citation-styles/)):

![Popularity of citation styles by year](https://gitlab.com/dhimmel/pmc-citation-styles/raw/d08b920861aef667ef7edb84c12c35ba119a69df/figure/years-mutlipanel.png)

On the left you've got raw counts (in your case the two categories would be paid votes & unpaid votes). On the right you've got normalized votes. You'd probably want to zoom in the y-axis, given that such a low number of votes are paid.

An alternative would be a faceted plot, where the paid and total plots were vertically aligned but separate.

Keep up the great #datascience!

After a little more thought, I think the best visualization would be two vertically-aligned plots with the same x-axis of date. The top plot would be total number of votes per day. The bottom plot would be percent of votes by paid bots (y-axis zoomed to only the dynamic range). This would capture all the information above without any confusion.

Is the full daily/weekly data you created available?

Mhh, a lot less than I expected. When I did read the tittle I had a figure in my mind before opening and reading the post. To be honest I was thinking about 30 to 35%.
I think if we would add some groups in the calculations that probably the more richer Steemians are using them. A lot more than the red fishes.
@penguinpablo it is possible to dig this up?
The answer to this question will probably prove that more wintered Steemians are using upvote bots compared to relative newer Steemians.
But I could be wrong!

That was precise, It's interesting how we utilize resources to get upvote on our work. But I can see there is still handful of community which doesn't use this voting bot system.

The REAL question is, do the voting bots help those who use them?

ok  but i think the votes with higher values are with the bot and the whales, i think that is why most people prefer to pay for bots

Great insight, that's a lot of bots. what would the worst case scenario? could this de-stabilize the steem platform as more and more paid bots are deployed? minting the Steem tokens more rapidly could be one scenario, but how that plays out is yet to be known. curious to find out tho..

i get it. number of upvotes from paid bots and not value of upvotes from paid bots. ofcourse number of upvotes bots did cannot be compared with number of upvotes from steemians but what interests me more is value of upvotes from paid bots as againts value of upvotes from steemians.

I only discovered steembottracker.com the other day and it is interesting to see more information related to voting bots. 

Could you please assist in providng more information on voting bots: 

* How much Steem Power is owned by the bots?
* How much Steem Power is delegated to the bots?
* How much Steem Power is controlled by the bots?
* How much of the daily posting rewards is allocated by the bots?
* How much of the daily curation rewards is earned by the bots?

Hello @mkdouglas Someone said votes less than 0.01 sbd are not counted anywhere, that most minnows with low sp votes are just load for the blockchain. Please how true is it? Can you please explain better to me about it?

I think every cent counts, at least up to 0.001 which is the smallest fraction that can be transacted on the Steem blockchain. 

I also think all Steemians, even minnows, are useful hooks to catch more users. Network effects works on the fact that somebody you know is already using Steem. 

The billions of Facebook users were attracted to Facebook by the first few million users who again were attracted by the first few thousand users. It grew from college students to middle aged parents to aged grandparents.

I must say, I thought it was a whole lot more! It puts things in perspective. Off course some bots are huge whales, but there is really not much we can do about that...
As long as the big majority is normal traffic, I think the platform  an keep growing!

Interesting analysis. I must admit I would have thought bot vote %age would be higher.

In terms of finding out more about manual curation, it would be interesting to know what percentage of votes are cast via auto-voters.

This would be a more difficult analysis and would require somehow picking up votes always made at the same time after posting between the same two parties.

No idea how to do that, and I have no problem with auto-voters - but it would be interesting to know.

These are the votes made by user boosted by delegated SP.
Bought votes like the system on smartsteem stay under the radar.

I thought it would be worse. Less than 2% of all votes isn't so bad. We need to keep an eye on that number, though.

Hey @penguinpablo! Thanks for your report! I always wondered how the bot votes vs. human votes ratio would look like! &#128077; To me, it's very surprising that bot votes are below 2%. &#128558;

Oi, that double axis graph is a little confusing at a glance. 

Fascinating data.  Thanks for compiling and sharing.

I wonder if more people don't use vote bots due to lack of knowledge, or if it comes down to lack of funds to buy the votes. I know very often the vote-bot doesn't return a positive ROI depending on your timing. 

I'd be curious if there is a better solution to the problem of worthwhile posts and post discovery instead of vote-bots.

Nice one - I think the Cash / crypto / steem reward generated via bots or booster services is more of interest - @felixxx did a research on that - roughly 16% - check his post:

Self voting for people that might be interested in that, check out the post by @felixxx
