Do you know if the experiment has ended?
I tried upvoting and where I was able for a short time to deliver 2 cents, I'm back to $0.00.
Edit: I've just upvoted this comment and got a zero.

It has nothing to do wth the experiment, it has to do with a change in how the reward pool works after hardfork 18 went out. Follow @steemitblog for more information.
Also, according to @abit's page, "the experiment" is still ongoing (and by that, I mean whales are still discouraged from voting with full power).
Oh, so that's what the whale experiment is about! I have to admit I kind of miss the days when your post could get a sudden uplift just because a whale liked it. But it's good if the whales want to vote full strength, to spread their votes around to minnows.
Spread the votes indeed!
Gawd, that just makes things worse - no whales and the minnow vote is worthless.
It seems crazy to change the reward pool when the old system was working fine. No-one votes on anything after 24 hours anyway, because content just gets buried.
I wonder if we'll see a sell-off of Steem this week.
Many would disagree. Maintaining the 30 day second payout window, from what I understand, added a lot of unnecessary complexity to the blockchain code. These changes are important more for the future. These are early, early days. Expect things to change often or be disappointed.
I was thinking the opposite. As far as I understand, there will be no payouts for the next 7 days. That means the only steem sold on the markets will be the steem that already exists.
