Hey @sircork. Thanks for bringing this up here for everyone to talk about! There is definitely something different since a couple weeks ago.
I posted an article right about when HF19 went into effect and it got a huge payout by someone who had a lot of SP (to the tune of about $125 for his like). The total payout for that post after 24 hours was $134.
If you look at my blog, you will see that post is worth about $75 now. Has it lost in value, or is it because of the value of SBD? I still haven't been able to figure out the workings, though I stay up at night starting at my ceiling trying to figure it out.
Moreover, since HF19 +2 days about when people started reassess their strategy on steemit, I have made very little from each original post.
I'm not too worried about it as at this point, I did not expect to be taking monthly vacation from my Steem payout, but it is a bit daunting nonetheless
Eactly this. I had a 150 dollar post dive to 60 bucks. It's not the market crash, it didn't go THAT far down on steem. And it's coming back up. So what the hell? It's bugging me to death.
Same here. And you want to hear something else to further screw up your humpday morning?
Seems some people who have totally obliterated their voting power are going back to old posts and comments they'd previously upvoted and undoing. I got HUGELY curious when I saw a notification on steemd, so I tried it out on a post of my own I had previously liked - and sure enough unvoting from less than 7 days ago gives your voting power a small boost, depending on how much the vote was initially worth!
I would love to start knowing all the trade offs and changes from the fork. Seems people's expectations are way off
That is a VERY interesting observation!
Thanks for that insight on vote removal, I'll research that further.
I hope you do a post if you find anything of interest.
You can bet I will. And you'd win that bet. IF I find something worthy of talking about on this topic anyway.
