It's been a far too long time for me.

But perhaps a much better question for most people would be:
> How do I check the stats of my outgoing votes on Hive?

That's a VERY good question, to be honest. We are not talking about who upvotes your posts, we are talking about who YOU upvote regularly or with higher weights.

This is a question I haven't found a great answer to yet. I mean, we have the stats on PeakD (thanks @achim03 for reminding me of them!), which show the distribution of the incoming and outgoing votes, including or excluding downvotes.

You can access this from https://peakd.com/me/analytics (you must be logged in to PeakD).

Here's what my pie chart looks like for outgoing votes over the last month or so:

I didn't include usernames because what I wanted to point out was a relatively "fair" distribution, not highly squeezed toward one or two accounts (and I don't self-upvote, so none of them are mine).

The least voted on this pie chart received 16 votes, while the most voted 45 times over a month or so. The highest number of upvotes were received mostly for engagement on my posts, which means sometimes the person who comments every day on my posts on-topic, probably received more than one upvote if we engaged in a good conversation.

What I believe this pie chart is lacking and may be an important piece of information to not have, is the stake-weight distribution of the votes. Given that I upvote full posts with a higher weight than comments, when I do it manually (without being triggered via the curation trails), the distribution would probably look different when it measures the vote amounts instead of the number of votes.

Unfortunately, I don't know any tool that gives us such a distribution on Hive anymore or maybe I forgot about it. Anyone does, and wants to share the information?

I also checked out the accounts that received my upvotes. It is great to see that most of the people who show up on this list I upvoted myself manually. There are a few who I didn't recognize, who were upvoted via curation trails (after checking, mostly one, liotes.voter). I checked each of their content and I have no objections, I would have upvoted them myself too.

There was one other account I upvoted regularly by following one of the STEM curation trails. I ended up following the account because it's the kind of content I would gladly consume.

There is also another category of a few accounts that I would call "Liotes community top members" that have been upvoted more often via the curation trail. I have generally interacted with all of them multiple times over time and I believe the aspect of growing as a community (or communities if you are part of more of them) should not be neglected.

That's all the pie chart included. I probably would have been curious about how my outgoing votes stand in a few cases of accounts I used to upvote very often in the past but not as regularly nowadays.

We are creatures of habit. Sometimes we don't realize how much or how little we upvote certain accounts until we check such stats. In some cases, it's their fault, because they forget to create content for longer periods.  😆 

There are some special cases too. In some cases, you keep upvoting a certain person's account because you understand the work put into each publication, and understand it's undervalued, according to your estimation. I do something like this too. But I'm still a relatively small fish in the big ocean, and can't make much of a difference.
