Suggestions and Comments most welcome, i hope you enjoyed the 3rd revision of my statistics posts :-)
I see several known bots / abusers in that list. It would be interesting to filter the list by reputation.
Dan that's a great idea, there is allot of data to work with so i am just finding my feet but what is very apparent is the upvote abuse on this site. thx for taking interest
I for one nominate gord0b as our stats and graphs guy.
edit: my spelling is atrocious.
Rock Star klye - im trying to keep it real )
This is primarily one "bot-net" all acting in unison and they are being targeted by people like me ( @clamps ) and others ( @cheetah , @antispam ) so their upvotes and comments mean very little now.
They do still increase the vote count for posts though which is why I think the botnet is still alive and active (to try and game the #hot list)
Good point, the bots do seem to be controlled in majority by the few - the new reputation system will definately assist in this regard
I love stats, i did a lot of stats recently on my blog. What are you using to gathering the data?
I am piecing it together very carefully ) - yeah i love stats too, i am getting there & get the feeling that i am onto something bigger, some thoughts;
Top accounts seem to be bots, they are upvoting their own posts etc - trying to generate revenue & noise it seems
You will probably find it is 1 person behind this, the stat counts are too similar in % growth from day to day
It's getting better and better 🙌🐬🙌 keep it going !
I told you it that the stats would be a little better next time -) - thanks for the kudo's
Good analysis.
Thanks, with each analytical post i get deeper into the information, keep a lookout for more to come )
Huge change from your first post when I asked you for more details . Really great work you do

I know the Steemit Elimination Game is broken, so the only fair thing I can do is say that you and @rittr are tied for first place. If there is another round and if it ever becomes popular, the two of you will be known as being the first winners.
Thx @gonzo
I'm curious if anyone knows how Reddit deals/dealt with bots posting autocomments?
Good question and i am not sure at all
I'm currently spending 2-3 hours per day curating and finding that 20-30 upvotes/comments or 10 upvotes/hr is about maximum speed. Anything more than 10/hr probably means a human is not reading the posts/comments or taking the time to add value via commenting. Some will be faster, some slower but >40/hr is probably a bot or someone just upvoting willy-nilly.
Yip, it looks like bot are mostly involved, it is concerning that they are upvoting their own comments too. There are 16 accounts averaging over 103 upvotes per hour - not good
good job with the stats
i honestly though there were alot more active users upvoting
Yeah me too, keep in mind these stats are just for 1 hour every day, so these accounts are creating allot of noise & probably revenue (i hope not)
