Hi my is @zlad and people know me as the cool witness because I'm a pretty nice guy who interacts with the community unlike the others. Anyway enough about me, Stats are king. I am so up to my neck in pussy in real life. So much so that I don't need positive affirmations via posts about myself so I just stick to stats on Hive. Please take note of my beautiful title slides before we go further as I put time and effort into them and they always have a bee theme. Don't just take it that I am the stats guy. I am the also mutha fucking king of post title pictures guy but nobody really notices them as they are rushing to read the juicy stuff.

So let's start the new Year off with a look at 2023 to see who were the biggest blaggards. Normally I just write the top ten authors/ curators and then the top 10 DHF proposals but most people read it to see who the top blaggards are. The authors get congratulated and lets face it , they are the real hero's or as I call it the only innocents in this blockchain. The rest are fair game but I write it in a way not to upset anyone for fear of reprisal.

So let's take a look at the juicy one to start off with.

DHF Blaggarditry 2023

(Please take note of my beautiful beehive background, a detail most of you philistines won't even notice)

There they are now. The bunch of Blaggards. Look at them there with their substantial earnings. Of course Valueplan is at the top of the list by a country mile with a whooping 1,000,000 HBD spent in 2023. No wonder the Hive price is struggling. The bloody blaggards. $1 million dollars for "Marketing". Comedy Gold. To be honest the rest are probably OK. Who knows? But that's a big jump from over 200,000 HBD given to peak.open to 1 million in Valueplan. Plenty of blaggardery going on there don't you think? But I don't talk about that because I only issue the stats. It is up to you to draw your own conclusion and this is why I specifically avoid calling this list the "Blaggards" List in the first place. Next Up

Most Rewarded Blaggards

(Again I call on you to please take note of my beautiful beehive background, a detail most of you philistines won't even notice)

So we switch now to our most rewarded accounts and again there a few blaggards for you all to see but I will highlight them with some nice colours and a powerful graph to show you the full extent of the blaggarditry that is going on. Full of blaggards. A who is who of blaggards. This is blaggard central. Once again Valueplan leading the way on 3 million HBD. You couldn't make it up but this is not for me to point out as I only bring this information to the masses. It is up to you to kick up the stink about it because I have a supermodel girlfriend to wine and dine. I ain't got no time to be getting into wars with my stats. Anyway the whales have to just grin and bear it because all my stats are always 100% correct. The @zlad don't get no wrong percenterjays.

Kings Among Men

(Please take note of my beautiful beehive background, a detail most of you philistines won't even notice)
Above is a list of the saints among us. Kings and queens among men. If one of these bad boys visits your page and gives you an upvote , call the wife and tell her to put the good underwear on tonight as we are going out!! Technically a good night out may cost around $150 and the most a post will earn is around $120 but I am only the stats guy,

The Die Hards

(Please take note of my beautiful beehive background, a detail most of you philistines won't even notice)

And now we move onto the authors. You would expect for these people to be the most rewarded but Hive as a blockchain has other plans. Here we are the top authors of 2023. The Die Hards. These are the people you would want by your side. They don't call in sick every day. They just get on with it. No snowflakes here. Most are elderly actually pushing retirement with nothing better to be doing. Post after post after post after post about everything and anything. If they see two flies going up a wall, they run for the computer. How do they do it? Not many blaggards here. Yes, I get it , some very boring and I would question if any of them have sex lives (apart from the one that posts about his sex life) but I am just the stats guy so it is not up to me to question any of Hive's dedicated soldiers. The ones keeping this blockchain ticking over. Looking through the authors they all offer differing views about differing subjects. Some talk about crypto , some talk about their daily lives, some take pictures of colourful leaves on the autumn walk, somes make terrible recipes, and other drone on about how the Hive price increasing to $100 next year based on no evidence whatsoever. I am also sure a couple of them live in a bus shelter. But let us be proud of them and big it up ...... No No..... I will not comment. I am just the stats guy. It is up to the Hive user to congratulate them. I am a neutral.

So there you have it. Enough to sink your teeth into and give me a healthy reward as these images cost me more than $200 to make and I am just doing this as a hobby because I like stats.

Chao my friends. See you next month for January's blaggard list!

dalz, I robbed a couple of images from you mate! I hope you don't mind.
