I don't know if my predicament has something to do with the HF or not. I mean, I am new here 13 days ago. I've seen all of my posts drop half their potential earnings without losing any votes or anything. I don't really understand that.
Don't get me wrong, the $1 I am making is $1 more than I had before, and I have no problems with small payouts at all, but what is bugging me is the fact that they get up to $14 and then drop down to $7 when payout rolls around. I feel like there's something wrong somewhere and it can't just be that the value of steem is going down, cause it's not???
I agree with you completely, that is my question and the voting power recovery seems slower with a higher percentage being taken away per vote. Other than that its great when its up it upvotes higher for people but if I can't upvote as much its kind of restricting. That price dip on the blogs, concerns me too.
