It's the end of the month again, and time to check on the progress of the account's HP accrual.

I do this every month since October 2022, and this has formed an important part of my self-appraisal for this account. You can read the previous edition here.

The chart below shows the 30 days figures for HP increment in Jan 2023. You can also notice from the orange line that I powered up to 10K from about 8700 early last month.

As a good practice, I charted the progression of Author Rewards and Curation Rewards over the months below.

A few points to highlight:

  1. Author Rewards did not increase noticeably on Jan 23. Perhaps a need to look at why my posts weren't earning the HPs.
  2. Curation Rewards increased by about 30%. Considering that my HP increased by about 13% on Jan 23, while the Curation Rewards increased by 30% in comparison, the ROI from that extra 13% is great.

The points above can be further digested.

Perhaps the full effect of the last 13% HP top-up had not been reflected, there is a need to observe the charts in the upcoming months. Likewise, the sweet jump in Jan 2023 could also be due to the aggressive top-up of HP from about 5K in December. These values show the trend, but I really need to let things settle for the next few months to see the situation more clearly.

In terms of author rewards, the increase is not substantial. A signal that I have room for improvement in this department. Maybe it's the tags, maybe I need to delegate HP to some accounts that reblogs, which I believe is important for getting votes from new readers.

Last reflection...

Is there a tool that can do this charting over months automatically? I am sure these values can be pulled from the API. I may need to try coding for it if I can't find one.

In any case, this is a good exercise if we care about our HP accrual.
