Manual Voting and Bots v’s Steemvoter – Blockchain Business Intelligence
<html>
<p>Steemvoter has been down for upgrades. It’s not down that long but yesterday I did notice a drop in the number of votes that I receive on my posts.</p>

<p>3 posts since Steemvoter went down and I had 152 votes and the 3 posts before received 208 votes. &nbsp;That’s a 27% decrease in votes.</p>
<p>So I connected to Steemsql held and managed by <a href="https://steemit.com/@arcange">@arcange</a> &nbsp;to see if this drop in the % of votes is consistent across steemit. &nbsp;I looked at the votes table and collected the data for the 7th, 8th and 9th Jan.</p>

<p>Steemvoter was active on the 7th and some of the 8th but was not active yesterday the 9th Jan.</p>
<p>The number of votes on the 7th was 738,860 which is 17% higher than the votes on the 9th.</p>
<p>The number of votes on the 9th was 630,886. &nbsp;The votes on the 8th were 778,753 which is 23% higher than the 9th.</p>
<p>This is only a small sample of data and it will be interesting to look at this over the week and see if the % remain the same or will the people of Steemit begin to do more manual voting?</p>
<p>However from this sample it can be assumed that between 17% and 23% of votes are made by Steemvoter. It also looks like a larger portion of the votes I receive come from Steemvoter at about 27%.</p>
<p>The remaining votes are a mixture of both manual votes and bots. &nbsp;I’d love to see all the bots go off line for a day just so I can grab some data. &nbsp;It would provide very interesting insights.</p>
<p><em><strong>So how much are your votes down with Steemvoter being down? &nbsp;Do you use Steemvoter? &nbsp;Are you voting manually now?</strong></em></p>
<p>I don’t use Steemvoter so this hasn’t created a problem for me and I am delighted to get a snapshot of the dataset as I don’t see this happening that often.</p>
