I have also noticed I've lost quite a bit of reader engagement. At first, like many people, I was very excited about hard Fork 19 because I am a minnow and my vote became worth about $1.00.
It had previously been worth about $0.03. However, it did not take long for the rewards pool to drain. I usually make a few dollars per post but my last one only earned $0.89.
Many of my friends are concerned about the lack of fun on here lately and they are not feeling it anymore. As I see the price of Steem sit steady at about $1.20 that truly concerns me.
Everyone is hoping for that $10 Steem. I think a lot of us now are also hoping that nothing is permanently broken. Things definitely don't feel the same as they did a couple of months ago. I think this thread is a good idea though. Here's to engagement.
