Actually if someone upvote you and give you 1$, it wont decrease because that person continue voting, you keep that 1$, next post should get 0,9$ and 0,8$ and so on... If your 1$ decrease, is because of the average price of the token, sometimes it increases, i remember once the payout of 1 post increased 10$ without getting any new upvote...

Actually, I believe it's both. You'll notice your payout decrease while the price of Steem remains steady.
The price of steem never remains steady, at least not enough time, remember that the payouts are based on an Average of the price on the last week or something, it is impossible the price to remain steady a complete week... Also i have seen the payout increase sometimes, therefore i don't think that the value of the vote decrease, once the vote is given, the voting power is reduced and thats it, at least thats what i think, we should ask some of the programmer though to be sure... :)
I'm just speaking from my experience here over the last year.
So you must know that payout sometimes increases too right?... I have seen that too, without getting any new votes...
I never disagreed with that. Both factors are at play, I believe. The increase you're talking about is rise in Steem price. You'll see ups and downs caused by both Steem price and voters voting around. Like I said - and this is regardless of the Steem price factor - if a whale votes you up and then continues spreading that love to other people on their posts, you're going to see a drop in your potential payout.
That would make sense if the reward pool is weekly or something? i thought it was a daily reward pool...
I mean, if the whale gets his power regenerated, why should the payout decrease?... well i am just trying to understand how steemit works, it is not that easy to get :D
The regeneration takes a while. I knocked mine down to 38% on Tuesday. Here we are an hour away from Sunday (CST) and I've only regenerated back to 63.14%. I've been trying to avoid voting, or only vote at 1%.
