Good too see some people earning money, even if I get only pennies.
If you look at this report even a week ago, the rewards were significantly higher. Hopefully in a couple of weeks it will come back up, after all the crypto currency price volatility has stabilized a bit. Also, not sure if it is related perhaps to whales voting more often on less popular content.
