Merit circulations before and after the Default Trust Change (09/01/2019)
I compared statistics (median, and mean) of after period (two weeks later 09/01/2019, three weeks later 09/01/2019) to the before period.
It is probably that the change of Default Trust forced new topics published, more informative, constructive dicussions, and - of course - more good posts occured days before the change.
As we always known that, sMerits are not scarce, good posts are.
Consequently, it is probably that the change of Default Trust somehow increased the amount of good posts which led to higher merit circulations days after the change.
It is clear with statistics for 2 weeks later, but the effects likely blurred for 3 weeks later.
Detail statistics are there:
Two weeks later
- Median: +31.8%
- Mean: +23.2%
Three weeks later
- Median: + 15.9%
- Mean: + 15.5%
Notes:- Few days before Default Trust change, 3 more merit sources added, and airdropped merits to merit sources re-allocated. They are potential bias on the merit circulations in after period (2, 3 weeks later).
