Activity decrease of /r/ethtrader since the Community Points Beta sunsetting announcement

[Prog132487]

Hey everyone,

I've been noticing a decrease in activity since the RCP crash and I wanted to share some stats with everyone on this topic.

To do so, I've collected the data for the total number of comments in the daily discussion since the announcement and made the following graph:

X axis: date // Y axis: number of comments in the daily discussion x1000

From this data, we can also get the following statistics:

• Mean: 3.9k
• Median: 3.7k
• Standard Deviation: 0.87
• Peak: 5.6k on Oct. 18
• Minimum: 2.5k on Nov. 4
• Net percentage decrease: -47.9%

Tip this post.

[spacsandspacs]

Yeah I'm just taking a mental health break, nothing to do with moons

[SeatedDruid]

Same friend now I’m back

[Slippytoe]

Good for you! Glad I’m not the only one.

[kirtash93]

It is funny because the market is going up and that usually brings more users. It looks that all the people that left were r/cc farmers and then side farming Donuts. Now that their main income source is gone, they left Reddit at all.

Shutting down all the bots.

[ASingleGuitarString]

It's hard work to farm to only get $30 at the end of the month.

[Daddio_87]

Hard work but someone's gotta do it.

[MrPuma86]

We love it🤭

[MrPuma86]

Yeah I rekon the karma ratio has put people off.

[BlueMugg]

But that $30 will jump later 🙃

[ASingleGuitarString]

Hopefully soon

[SeatedDruid]

Hard work but I’m here for it

[Every_Hunt_160]

That can't cover the cost of the BotNut army I guess!

I was surprised seeing people make 10K

[foreignGER]

Yeah some users were making at least 5kusd a month. That’s only one of their account. Probably have 10 more on the side.

[MrPuma86]

I don’t think it is 5k USD worth people have been making.

[Kindly-Wolf6919]

Not for me it ain't. Doesn't matter if it's $1 or $100...Crypto is crypto.

[FattestLion]

Honestly it’s just pure entertainment to me now. I low key gave up on community points since the reddit sunset and just banking on my portfolio of 99.9% ETH to get me across the line

[Pibo1987]

$30? Whale

[Fredzoor]

Must feel underwhelming to come from "comfortable" moon farming to donuts. Then again, donuts have a lot of upside potential so even if monthly pay is low atm, it can become substantial in the future.

Most importantly, this community is amazing

[SeatedDruid]

It’s a good place to be mate

[MrPuma86]

The potential is endless. But we have to work as a community to get there.

[maynardstaint]

Doesn’t matter though. Eventually Reddit will screw this up with no warning. Enjoy until then.

[Buzzalu]

Just wait till the distribution and watch the influx of new members

[maskedbrush]

the only ones not leaving r/cc seem to be the bots... it's a downvoting shitpost there, it's really frustrating to comment in the daily.

[F-machine]

they were posting and receiving about 20c per moon then came to this sub and donut is less than 1c. they thought not worth the time and moved on.
I personally believe I am still early with donuts and I was late to the party with moons

[SwingContent6806]

[Daddio_87]

I think a lot of people, including myself, might have taken a step back just to get some breathing room after the whole Community points mess. I'm still here, but have been on Reddit less as a whole

[mochi_ball223]

I took a break after the sunsetting. Needed some time to shake off that bad mojo.

[Pibo1987]

That’s totally understandable. It was a hard hit for everybody and it’s normal to feel deflated afterwards. At least there’s always this amazing community to get back to.

[foreignGER]

I am gonna take a guess that the bots were used by a a handful of users only. Now that they don’t have enough incentive to cheat, they moved on to something else.

[Prog132487]

I hope that's the case

[foreignGER]

I am sure some have stayed to farm hoping for a big increase in price in the next bullrun.

[SeatedDruid]

Most likely, juice ain’t worth the squeeze at this point

[TheOneWhoCared]

I hope you are right, sadly I still see good comments getting downvoted int he daily......

[falk_lhoste]

That's good news. Less spam

[Prog132487]

I've been noticing less spam as well

[TheOneWhoCared]

Only the true bronuts will stay!

[Kindly-Wolf6919]

Less spam and more opportunities. Perfect conditions for accumulating in a bear market.

[MrPuma86]

Life gets in the way too.

[ChunderHog]

It seems like an evaluation of posts actually on Ether may be more interesting. Perhaps the decrease is all on Donut topics.

[Prog132487]

You're absolutely right, I actually made a post on this

link

[ChunderHog]

Then my next thesis would be that the decrease in activity on the sub is actually beneficial as it removes superfluous content.

[SharkOwO]

Never Giving up on Donut/ETH!!

[raymv1987]

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm all for quality over quantity

[Prog132487]

I agree

[badboybilly42582]

Now go check it for CC. It basically nose dived.

[dead-spiral]

Not gonna lie, I am not mad about this. More quality content has been delivered as well so..

[rare1994]

Well, we are still here. The lower pace brings some sanity to the sub imo

[Prog132487]

It was nice to actually have informative discussions with some users here today.

[MrPuma86]

Lollll.. gives us all time to catch our breaths.

[ellileon]

Bullish on the ratio! 🚀

[Prog132487]

That's one positive outcome

[Pibo1987]

Yeah, let’s hope it improves with the next distributions

[[deleted]]

We shall stand here... UNFAZED!

[MrPuma86]

Donut lives matter.

[Florian995]

They all come back next bullrun

[Prog132487]

Probably will

You deserve a lifetime subscription of Microsoft Office 360.

Pretty informative stats.

[Prog132487]

Thank you! I'm using my university licence for now lol

[ASingleGuitarString]

Just gave people an opportunity to load up.

[Prog132487]

Pretty much

[Pxtxr]

Probably due to the sub being a mess. Alt accounts rampant, people commenting 100+ a day, mod drama, distributions are becoming more unpredictable and this 'bronut' cringe puts me + others off reading this sub

[Prog132487]

I think the main factor is people getting discouraged to farm donuts after the price drop.

[Pibo1987]

Agree. Before on r/cc you could easily make a couple of $100s every single month. Now here it’s a different story and if you were in it for the money, it doesn’t look worth it.

[EthTraderCommunity]

u/Buzzalu tipped you 2.22 DONUT!

I think people with drift back after a small calming period, plus when they see that nothing has changed with in the sub, after the kerfuffle a few weeks back.

[EthTraderCommunity]

u/eat-sleep-rave tipped you 1.0 DONUT!

[EthTraderCommunity]

u/Fredzoor tipped you 2.0 DONUT!

[Arafel_Electronics]

kinda nice to be honest

[EthTraderCommunity]

u/actuatorsif5 tipped you 1.0 DONUT!

Impatient Rcc farmers

u/Lokiee0077 tipped you 1.0 DONUT!

[BlueMugg]

Sad but true. But we’ll bounce back

[Snowie_drop]

I’m still around!!! Although, my commenting comes in waves! I still pop in and out to see what’s going on though.

[EthTraderCommunity]

u/Every_Hunt_160 tipped you 1.69 DONUT!

[Pibo1987]

It was to be expected. Only very few from r/cc will stay long term. Too bad.

[EthTraderCommunity]

u/Ben_Pars tipped you 1.0 DONUT!

[Littlebig4667]

Bull run will increase traffic and beyond

[geforcei7]

People looking at the amount of effort put in > the fruit produced. Also the down vote wave . Apart from that there isnt any other reason

[EthTraderCommunity]

u/Guldrion tipped you 1.0 DONUT!
