why does my steemit post lose money over time?

in #steemit8 years ago

sorry if this has been discussed some place already - I tried to search and did not see an answer...
I wrote a post on "healthy habits" that gained a little bit of interest, and so had a small dollar amount next to it
this morning it was $5.75, and now (about 2 pm) it is around $5.45
I did not do anything to change it (I think) - I found a few interesting posts, commented and wrote another one on the subject of health.
anyway, if someone happens to know what is going on, I would appreciate a heads up :)
thank you!

The value of steem fluctuates, so it may either increase or decrease without any upvoting or downvoting occurring. Then, when it pays out, those who voted on it get a portion, and the author gets the remainder.

thank you! :) yes, I learned about the "share" thins but I wasn't sure why the amount decreased. now I know - I appreciate it!

fluctuates the value than so much after upvote on a post i get 38,34 and now after 7 days i have 21,70 that's a lot
