Some observations:

Nice research. I can see that all pools have a high fees and there is no pool, which encourages it's users for optimal voting behavior by providing carrot and stick. There is a space to grow.

I pumped my fees, too, for a simple reason: competition.
It burns 1000 Coins to be a validator. Validators, that get their 1000 coins back, fast, get into a position, where they can lower the fees dramatically. So for earning back the 1000, I have to keep the fees up a bit, but my validator is no longer attractive... so for now, I keep the fees a bit higher, get the 1000 coins back and will lower the fees to a low amount

What is your Pool Fee now?

i pumped them to 15% - but this seems to be too high, I will lower them to roughly 10% today.... thinking

1% is about 1 SEM a day - so at 1% fee, it's 1000 days till burn is payed, but the server cost are not covered.
5% is about 5 SEM a day - so 200% says until payment without cost covering

10.5% + 0.5% dev fee will pay off in 100 days, keeps the server running and helps the devs
