Stackers with all lowercase names are correlated with stacking more sats. (of course, correlation is not causation)

In the first week of July, posts with emojis in their titles did not get as many sats as posts with non-emoji titles:

In the last week of July, authors with an underscore in their name published fewer posts than authors with a number in their name, but the underscore authors got higher median sats per post.

These are the authors who received the most comments each day in the first week of July:

It's pretty much always that way. The above chart is for the first week of July. Here's the last week of June. Not much different:

GM! Here's median sats earned by discussion posts vs link posts

Last week of June: median sats posts earn grouped by title length

Archived territories are definitely something interesting to look in to. It's hard to resist the siren call of making your own space, though...

These were the stackers whose posts received the most comments each day the last week of June:

I only looked at the top 20, ranked by revenue.

~Stacker_Stocks is number 22, and ~Construction_and_Engineering is 41. They are great territories. I would have shown the charts for all the territories, but it gets very crowded.

When @davidw did his analysis, he split territories into groups, perhaps that is a better way to do it.

~AMA certainly has the highest zaps per post and per comment.

~lightning, not so much. At least 9 territories have higher total sats zapped per post than ~lightning, yet it's third in revenue. How do you explain this? Neither is ~lightning in the top 5 for number of posts or number of comments.

~lightning has fewer posts than ~Politics_And_Law, but a higher average sats zapped per post, so your observation is backed up by that. But I'm not sure it's as clear as you say. Especially when it comes to territory revenue vs stacker revenue.

I'm not sure revenue sharing will really attract more/new authors. It seems to me that one of the best things territory owners can do to help their writers is aiding in content discovery and visibility. Your newsletter is a great example. Territories that help writers get seen can make a compelling case for being home for things the writers create.

Posts in ~meta are getting zapped more total sats than ~lightning, ~Stacker_Sports, and ~econ, and yet it has less revenue.

I also don't think that's the full story: remember, territory owners only get 21% of zaps in their territory, they get 70% of fees and boosts. When you look at percent revenue from fees and boosts, about half the territories in the top 20 are making more than half their revenue from fees and boosts -- which don't have anything to do with zaps.

Good point. I should do this again with just data from Q2.

In the last week of June, posts with a "?" in the title had a higher total median sats-zapped:

I didn't use api. just copy-pasted every post from every day into a file and then parsed it for csv.

Last week of June: ratio of zapped posts to post that got 0 zaps.
