Steem Reputation, to Which Percentile Do You Belong?
Some days ago @cryptoriddler released a diagram render of how the reputation ranks are spread among all Steem accounts.
At the time of publication there were more than 530,000 Steem accounts (according to steempunks.com we are growing at an average of ~2,400 new accounts created/day in the last 30 days).
As noted by @cryptoriddler, more than 80% of all accounts have a reputation of 25, the starting reputation for each new account.
The image/render makes for some interesting reading.
- There are 16 different negative reputation levels on the platform right now, totaling less than 500 accounts
- Only 10 steem accounts have a negative reputation in the double digits (-10 or below)
- -18 is the lowest reputation on the platform right now (@berniesanders)
- 78 is the highest reputation (@steemsports)
- Less than 10 Steem accounts have a reputation higher than 75
- Only 17 Steemians have reputation 75 or higher
- The top 8 reputation levels have less than 50 accounts each
- Less than 200 accounts have reputation 70 or higher (196)
- The top 10 reputation levels (69-78) have less than 100 accounts each
- 64 is the highest reputation level with more than 200 members
Image crop of cryptoriddler’s original render
Only 30 reputation levels harbor more than 1,000 accounts each (26-55 - excluding reputation 25)
No reputation level in the top 1% has more than 1,000 accounts
Only 4 reputation levels have more than 5,000 accounts (26, 27, 28, 30 - excluding reputation 25)
Only 1 reputation level is larger than 1% of the total accounts base (27 - excluding reputation 25)
Only one reputation level below the starting level of reputation 25 has more than 500 accounts (17)
Three reputation levels harbor more accounts than the directly lower reputation level (27, 53, 72)
The 1% of Steemians by reputation starts in the higher bracket of reputation 56
Less than 5,000 Steem accounts have a reputation above 56 (4,911)
All data referred to in this post comes from cryptoriddler’s render, who used Steem-Python to extract the data and visualized with Blendr.
Head over to cryptoriddler’s post to see the complete image and also a render of the situation around 3 months earlier.
Nice stats, thanks!
I just made 60, so it sounds like I'm in the 1% because I'm above 56?
It's always tricky with these kind of stats though. Only 270k accounts have actually made a single post or comment, so there are lots of dead, or never-living accounts to potentially exclude.
A better measure might be reputation %age out of those actively posting - to see how you compare to those in a similar boat as yourself.
Agreed, @miniature-tiger, re-active account stats.
This was a simple synthesis of @cryptoriddler’s post/visualization.
Personally, I would prefer that reputation became tied to activity and much like in sports ranking systems (think tennis for example) reputation would lose x% of earned money points over time. Then analysis, and also reputation, would have a genuine worth right now reputation feels more cosmetic/vanity a metric.
Other than that... your recent run of posts is most definitely top drawer and top 1%. But that’s entirely subjective and I love data thus I’m totally biased when I say that. Unashamedly biased too.
Very nice idea on the sports ranking system! Making reputation more based on current activity that an accumulation over time.
When SMTs come in I think there is quite a lot of possibility to have other metrics alongside reputation to reflect activity and engagement - and there could be tokens (even if they are of little value) as a side benefit to the metric.
Woah
This is good stuff!!
Interesting information, @fknmayhem. I've always wondered about reputation ratings. Though I still have questions, this does give some clarity as to where I fall in the reputation ratings. As always, you provide me with food for thought. All the best!
Blimey!
Interesting stuff and kinda illustrates that putting the effort into the platform has the potential to reap large rewards both socially and financially.
Thanks for taking the time to synthesize this.
Hoping 2018 and beyond is kind to you and yours.
xox
Cool Stuff!
I used to think that REP LEVEL was tied to Dolphin, Whale, etc but then I saw those were "account size" so I got busy on that too. I'd like to see stats on Dolphins and Whales rep levels, do you know of any database for wallets vs. rep levels? They say Dolphins are 5% of the population, give or take so I'd guess Whales are less than 1% hmmm...
