It sounds like if you post stuff now, expect a low payout? Kind of taking one for the team. A sacrifice...that's how I understand it.

Oh... do we continue to put extra effort in or wait?

Well just pretend we are on FB where you NEVER get paid LOL

So true but then I hate FB, peoples statuses drive me mad

Yes Ma'am! I know that. That's why I'm here too!!!

cept on fb all of your friends and family are there and millions of businesses and other things etc..

True enough, but on FB I would have never met cool people like you @onlyvoluntary and @karenb54! ;)

I can't dispute that haha :)

Except for some of us FB generate actual clients and income via exposure in to the thousands of friends, their friends and groups.

The only advantage of Steemit was a cash payout that was growing for me.

I'd be interested in that to, I've wrote what I would think were 2 petty good articles, ok so one was a load of pictures of my mother's dogs but none the less probably would have earned me a nice reward, will these posts slowejw start to get compensated as the steem comes back?
I've also noticed a large drop on upvotes possible because the autobot's aren't doing their thing?

Total post rewards per day (in STEEM) will be increasing sub-linearly over a month or two, until reach a steady state (same size to pre-hard fork period). If you want to get more rewards (in STEEM), and you're sure that there will be same quantity of people (or more) that will vote for you, and no more authors will be posting (to compete), you can wait a month or so. But who will know a STEEM will worth how much $ at that time?

We need a few answers, I want to continue writing but don't want to put to much effort in if I'm getting nothing back, I've just posted one that I think would have been good payout... or I maybe wrong

It's not worth it to me to take the time to post and promote in the chat rooms several times a day and now for 7 days for each post (really?) for .25 when I was making $10 to $40 which actually added up to an second income.

And this well FB and IG does not pay you that is going around is total B.S. in many cases as I get work (paying clients) from those sites so yes it does pay me when new people in my local area see my posts and hire me. Unlike Steemit that has 2000-3000 users world wide.

I was really enjoying Steemit again and getting paid for posting. For the same time put into Steemit, there are many other legit money making opportunities online that will pay perpetually. It is boils down to ROI on time invested and if working for a few pennies per hour is worth it or not to you.

Yes, @nspart

Till @Steemit rewards every piece of content till the end of Steemit, content producers will give that piece of content more legs by posting on AdSense enabled platforms.

If also posted on Blogger, Medium or WordPress wonder how that would work for @Steemit's SEO?
The time lag to have @cheetah flag @Steemit content duplicated somewhere else has just dropped to 7 days, instead of 30 days, after hardforks 17 & 18.

I'm on 2 minds what to do, I would like to hear something more concrete from the big guys. Not sure where wet stand or what to do at the minute

I think you just keep posting as normal. You won't be making as much these next few weeks but it will catch back up to where you were before soon enough. And who knows if everyone else stops posting maybe you pick up a few more followers for when the rewards are higher again ;)

I hope so, its like starting all over again lol
