For emphasis and clarification on these numbers. There are users whom trail steemstem without getting curated and they are not included in looking at the voting power of steemstem. This also does not include curie or any votes that trail curie. There is more SP involved than is shown, but for simplicity I will stick to the community.
Now it is difficult to put a value on human interaction but right now I will do something close. You see, since January 14th there have been around 518 unique authors that received both a steemstem vote and a curie vote so what I did was calculated the SP of all of those people, the SP delegated to those people, and the SP they delegated away and added it all up to find the Steem Power of the group. Now I could put a dollar value on that but instead I am going to go 1 step further, I am going to tell you how much a vote (at 100% VP with 100% VW) is worth from that crowd.
<< That is literally the source code used to pull the steem power of everyone. The output was:
Steem Power: 344606.4109854344
Recieved Delegation: 108652.34694091167
Delegations Given: 44488.834299517715
Total SP: 408769.92362682836
Now we can really just round that to 408769.924 Steem Power. This being said, Vests are better to use to calculate the value of a vote, but most people are more familiar with steem power so there you go. Collectively the 518 authors voted o by both steemstem and curie in that time have almost half a million SP with a 100% vote of around $65.68 and that is without including steemstem, curie, the steemstem management and curation team, or those whom follow the steemstem trail without getting voted on. The point is that just the authors that aren't on the team can make a huge difference on the value of a post... But if we include steemstem team members (and steemstem account) we raise that SP count from 408,769.924 to 585,662.481 SP and raise the value of a vote to around $94.03 (without curie or other trailing votes)
Edit:
Just to clarify, the steemstem team members and steemstem account had only around 180,000 SP, and 400,000+180,000 = 580,000. I am not saying 580,000 was held by the 19 team members + steemstem.
Why I wrote this was to show that if we were more of a community then we could support eachother way way better than we are currently doing. An average, decent, steemstem post gets what? 50-100 votes and of which, many are simply trailing the account. I am not asking you to all go and upvote every steemstem post to 100% (your voting power would become more extinct than the dinosaurs and likely your bandwidth too) but you can try more. This post, by the way, is not meant to be about the money. Instead its supposed to show that we have potential as a community that we simply are not reaching that we could be, and this is just an easy example to point that out. Anyways for more information on why this was written read here and the comments... You will get the point.
