Also, no I don't want to leave because I can 'no longer milk the rewards". That feeling is coming from the fact that I was gone for two months due to some big life changes, continent, job, etc... Then I come back on here and make a post, promote it and immediately start getting down voted. This was super strange so I started looking into it and realized things had changed. At that point I edited my post and begin figuring things out here on the comments that things had changed. Yet even though I realize I made a mistake and know that things are different know people are still intent on "punishing" me for making a simple mistake. I mean if it's such a big deal why didn't you all down vote me for the past 6 months?

We didn't downvote you because prior to HF21 nobody had the 2.5 daily 100% downvotes. The economic model was fixed in HF21. Downvoting is not a punishment. In this case, it's all about reorganizing content appearing in Trending. It has to work without exceptions. Otherwise anyone can claim to be entitled to an exception.
Why not go downvote everything in the Trending section right now then? It looks super spammy and not at all attractive to new users? Is it in trending through organic voting? What determines good content, because it looks every bit as bad as it always has.
I don't have enough downvoting power to downvote everything currently in Trending. I've been talking about the benefits of everyone trying to find the best posts by various types of artists here and organically upvoting them into Trending. I actually agree with you on too much Steem-centric content being in Trending. At this time, however, I'm prioritizing content promoted using bid bots in my downvoting.
gotcha, thanks.
I actually just followed you and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content here. I'm an amateur photographer and I appreciate good photography. Whenever I spot something I like very much, I'll give it a relatively large upvote and resteem it.
Cool! My next thing is going to be using vintage Pentax K mount lenses on my new Fuijifilm X-T30. Kinda excited about it.
That sounds cool. I've been at this for about a year and a half. I own an entry level Nikon D3400 that I bought less than a year ago. I bought a tripod last winter. My goal is to improve my compositional skills (which can be done using any camera). I've taken and edited about 2000 images in the last 18 months or so.
