/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

to clarify - if you haven't already noticed, the average divs for all coins are usually at or around $1,000. always. while coin prices can and will theoretically inflate upwards forever, dividends are hard capped and draw from a weekly pool of ~$64k total - since Civia and Rushia pay ~$0

that number seemingly hasn't changed...ever? it's why Div% trends downward. channels that do disproportionately "well" one week could suck even more of the others into 1-2% territory if they did strongly enough. pool should scale somehow. not sure how, but it should.

the game will feel more and more stagnant because the range of variability between different channels' dividends will continue to shrink as the gulf between the median coin price and the comparatively piss tiny $1,000 x # of Unique Coins continues to grow. when coins were worth $10k tops and there was a $50k pool of dividends to draw from, you could get silly 30-40% returns on some coins. now everyone clusters together around a narrow band of single digit percentages - from 2%-6% - with your holo/kobo/mori/peko/whatever outliers at >6% and hiatus/mama/dead/shitcoins at the bottom.

things get more interesting if you start playing with things like weighted averages instead of a raw average coin price ($25k) and how you choose to weight them (volume, views, subs, benchmark %, I guess that's technically volume with a few extra or less steps). even if you consider the distribution of coin prices, because the raw mean of $26,783.93 is incredibly misleading when the standard deviation is fucking massive - $20,236.89

retard suggestion: average coin price currently hovers somewhere around $25k. Multiply that by 10 and make it the "new dividends pool". Variability in dividends between channels will look more like it did in the past.

also, I broke Excel while trying to do something, so have picrel
