Steemit Challenge – Season 34, Week 08 | Weekly Stats Report

Hi Steemit Community!

Under the Steemit team's new rules, the Steemit Challenge is running very well, with strong entries and significantly increased engagement.

I want to share the stats of these challenges, as they will give you a clear idea of how significantly they are growing. Previously, user-initiated challenges—selected by the Steemit team—were quite limited in scope and mostly focused on a single theme; consequently, while people did participate, they had very few options. Now, although the variety of options may be limited, engagement is higher. This is an excellent initiative, and I appreciate this move by the Steemit team.

Let's move on to the stats of the challenge.

🏷️ Tag Distribution

As for the tags, naturally, the main tags have been used by everyone; additionally, the 'Steem-exclusive' tag has seen the highest usage. Since a large number of entries came from Venezuela, that tag has also been employed extensively. And a steemit tag was used a lot for this challenge.

📝 Word Count Distribution:

Because there is no word count limit in this challenge, we have to present the challenge according to our own standards, but if we talk about stats, people here are more likely to complete the challenge in 500 to 1,000 words because there are very few people who have submitted entries above a thousand and very few people who have submitted entries below 500.

At the end of the report, I would definitely like to keep this challenge going because it has increased engagement a lot here; there are only two challenges, and the number of comments is very high. The first challenge had only 53 entries but had 515 comments, and the second challenge had 65 entries but had 519 comments. Yes, it decreased from the previous week because it depends on the challenge topic, but the engagement looks great.

The next week has begun, and two challenges have been presented to you. Participate in them and keep the engagement going; the link to the challenge is provided below.
