Hi @alejos7ven,

Thank you. This is actually a very important clarification.

My understanding during the analysis was that Booming was still operating through community nominations. If that system was changed a few months ago and the Booming accounts are now operating more like smaller Steem Curator accounts, then part of my interpretation of the community data needs to be corrected.

The blockchain numbers themselves would remain the same — the votes, authors and communities are still what the data shows — but the explanation for why those votes were distributed that way could be different.

Your point about Steem Atlas and Speak on Steem is particularly interesting. It may explain some of the repeated Booming support I found, and I would like to investigate that further.

If you have a link to the announcement or guidelines explaining when and how the Booming system changed, please send it to me. I would like to verify it and, if necessary, add a correction/update to the report.

Your observation about the STEEM price is also interesting. A lower STEEM price potentially leading some existing users to publish more in an attempt to maintain their previous reward level would be worth testing with blockchain data over a longer period.

Thanks for pointing this out. This is exactly the kind of discussion I hoped the report would generate.
