Well the hardfork changed the amount people get for curation, steempower is worth a great deal less than it was before so people have less incentive to be out there voting. That's a part of it anyway. I don't know the whole scope.

Ok that does have a pattern- before the forking some of my posts were getting over a hundred up-votes, bots or not, now not near as many-- I thought it was me, getting worse!
Nope, it's not you. I've been trying to convey that message to the extremely frustrated noname haha. He thinks it's a conspiracy against him ;) But no, it is the result of the changes that were made. Bad changes for monetary purposes, though it's funny because now my upvotes are much closer to my views, this past post it was within three.
I'd been averting my eyes from the view counter since it was installed.
Also I've noticed that I rarely look at the 'Trending' page anymore, when I do, I upvote the Curie post that's always there, and scroll past the sports and finance posts for a minute. The 'New' posts are much better, but the gamblers have discovered the place now, we will see...
I read a post this morning that explained the voting system really well in the comments, the post was by @generation.easy and the informative comment-er @sigmajin. I wondered why I would vote on certain posts and they would shoot up and others wouldn't register, now I know. It's okay though, my main reason for this is simply that I love to write. And actually the reduced money for curation could end up being a good thing if the objective is for the current whales to dump their steem and get out. It could eliminate a number of people who are strictly here for profit without adding value, and maybe the favoritism would drop away some. We'll have to see :)
