Thank you for your response. Of course I have seen my upvote value fluctuate and understand all that. This is about my trying to find the newbies. If they upvote me I can't see that. You suggest I go to another website, which brings me to my second gripe about the fork or whatever it's called: I am suddenly having to perform significantly more keystrokes to do simple tasks. The recent changes has once again harmed the smaller accounts by making them more difficult to find. And even I have been "hidden".

I share your frustration!
And this: smaller accounts are more difficult to find now.
And the hives! the competing communities with their hashtags. Somehow "racial profiling" comes to mind, however inapt the comparison may be. I don't like labels. I like being inclusive, universal. Groups and cliques and identities have their place, I know... we segregate with birds of a feather. Maybe I'm too much of a rebel, a loner. But I bristle at any kind of pigeon-holing. I'm breaking out in hives... resisting change... too set in my ways...
"suddenly having to perform significantly more keystrokes to do simple tasks" - my son tried Steemit and hated the HTML coding and how cumbersome and time consuming he finds it to be, and he aced "informatics" in college (computers, codes, plus a linguistics degree). I don't know what will lure @mvkean back. Thanks for expressing your views with your usual refreshing honesty, @owasco!
It just keeps getting more and more time consuming, and for me the rewards are smaller and smaller. I see folks in OCD getting what would be for me a windfall on a single post that they tossed off. It makes me really mad! I work sometimes for months (my hawk poem) and does it get any attention? Nope. Well, that's not true. It gets lots of attention from actual humans who seem to like my content, but no curators visit, or when they do they give a token upvote, 200 worthless upvotes, and a kiss a death for future rewards.
Your hawk poem is awesome.
You may not get the financial proofs, but you've got my endorsement!
The work work work, the paper trail, the busy busy busy demands. The more "nothing" going on, the busier the worker bees.
I'm in cynic mode, as usual. But ready to be inspired and encouraged.
Not gonna think about how 250 upvotes = two bucks....
Basically, the soft fork didn't change anything. The soft fork stops Justin from performing actions on the network that the community doesn't agree with. That's all.
steemworld has been around for a long time, and before that it was steemd everyone had to use. In all the years I've been here, notifications are something that have never properly worked. At one point Steemit Inc basically just stopped them entirely, until recently both Steemit and steempeak got them properly implemented again. So I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few issues still.
Really though, consider steemworld, it allows so much depth into the statistics, who is voting, how much, earnings upcoming and gone by. It's a very good tool. It's basically a very good block explorer (every crypto has these, they're great for seeing what's happening in real time on the network).
Here's an example of some stats:
How would these help me find the small fellow content creators who have upvoted my post?
I know how to find out stats on anyone I want to. How do I find which of the upvotes on my post are from humans, and which are from bots. I did that before by looking at the percentage of a vote that they gave me. Now there is no way to tell unless they also comment.
There's a segment entirely for account operations (upvotes, downvotes, comments, and more). It shows vote percentage and vote value. They're displayed in real time, so no front-end steempeak or Steemit lag.
For example, you can see that I downvoted a ton of spam earlier, and received an upvote not long ago for a value of 0.03$ at 100% from a user. You can filter it to only see outgoing actions or only incoming ones. Check out the image:
OK that does seem useful thank you.
I have to agree that Steemworld is worth a visit. I keep a tab open on my browser with Steemit and one with them. It's an amazing tool and provides a lot of information. I have used it to find newbies or to see who is randomly downvoting me or for any number of reasons. Seriously, give it a try. I have the guy who created it on a 100% autovote. It's that helpful.
OK then putting myself out there on this post has been of benefit! I will. Thanks so much
