How Engaged Are Steemit Users in Voting for Witnesses?
That's what this report is all about!
As I mentioned in the last report, the numbers didn't seem to be changing all that much weekly, so I'm doing it monthly instead.
This week's engagement rate for accounts with 100,000 VESTS or more is:
23.44%
That's up 7.2% since last month, with a 9.5% increase in new users.
If you're not sure what a witness vote is, or why it's important, please see my older post Steemit is Free, But Your Witness Vote Determines its Future.
This report uses 
MV stands for Million VESTS.
VESTS are like vested shares in Steemit and relate to Steem by a ratio (485.471 Steem per MV as of this report).
VESTS impact the weight of your vote on posts and the influence of your vote for Steemit Witnesses.
Here's how I'm filtering the data:
All Accounts: No filter applied, includes all accounts.> 100,000: Accounts with 100,000 or more VESTS.> 0 Posts: Accounts which have posted at least once.> 100k & > 0 Posts: Accounts with 100,000 or more VESTS who have also posted at least once.Active: Accounts which have voted, commented, and posted a root post in the last 30 days.
The percentage values in parentheses show the change since last week's report.
