Hi thanks for addressing this
I am new to Steemit and have been completely confused about many things. Two of my last posts made a decent splash and i suppossedly made 78$ on one and 80$ on the other but when i claimed the money I got less than half of that. I was completely confused why it was so little compared to what it said on the post. Is this what you are referring to when you say "Payouts ... have been sliced to a fraction of their previously consistent levels."
who is slicing and deciding what portion is to be kept?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
No, that’s not what I am talking about here. The way that works, though, and the reason it seems like you are getting less, is because your payout total is paid to you half in SBD value and half in Steem Power. So you are not losing anything, really, except a small percentage rewarded to those who upvoted and curated your post. Hope that makes sense. It can be confusing sometimes regarding the payouts here! Oh, and welcome!
Thanks for the welcome and the time taken :)
Ok that starts to make sense. It is indeed very confusing! I still don’t quite get if it is better to steem down and take more steem dollars or vice versa. So i am at 50-50 Thé help page is not that helpful so I keep googling questions and landing on posts from Steemit 🤪 good way to connect with new people though. I started following your posts last night. :)
