Wow those are some really great thoughtful words. I really think minnows are going to gain more now as people are able to give more and those who have huge bot followings and who make a lot have sadly decreased. But to level things out I guess that had to happen.

I don't think those who have bot followers are missing out. I think those who have a few or more high SP holders voting for their posts did see a decrease in payout. I've seen on my posts a dramatic increase in value, one or two had a vote train of at least 200 votes; But all those votes were from minnows, most of them at least.
Well I think the minnows are really going to love it here on steemit now as they can add some value. I am glad you mentioned this :)
yes as i am a minnow I enjoy watching myself add three cents when i vote
Indeed I think the minnows will love this, and that is by far the majority of the users, maybe even something like 99,9%? So this is super good for the platform! :)
Yes there are millions of them and very few dolphins and whales, so this is really good as now more people hold the power for adding value
And not only adding the value, but also rewards for many minnows on their posts and comments will increase. Realise that most minnows get votes from minnows but rarely from dolphins or whales. I always refer it as we have a SP pyramid with the highest SP holders at the top and the lowest at the bottom and what I think happens is that SP holders follow and vote for other SP holders at their level and higher in the pyramid. I have no figures, didn't do any analyses. But I think from what I saw today with my own post and prospect rewards, and knowing that most to all of my voters are far below 100k SP holders, the effect being very positive. At least how it looks today. In the end, for whatever reason we are here at Steemit, rewards counts as well to stay engaged; in the past many minnows got fed up with the enormous imbalance in reward distribution so they left the platform and stopped being active. Only recently we saw an enormous amount of new users who seem to be still active, but I think that had to do with the high Steem value, that also increased rewards.
Time will tell how this all will play out. Looking forward to it though :)
It will be very interesting to find out what will be happening as the larger whales vote again and as all the posts start to equal out in value. The future will be really interesting :)
Agree
