Is the voting curation burn contributing to the reward pool getting larger?

Slightly, but it was mostly due to no one posting during the hard fork issues and less posting even today

Thanks. You're one of the go-to guys here when i can't figure out whats going on. So i'm going to ask a really dumb question. Does posting shrink the reward pool by the post itself? If no one votes does the pool change? Thanks i'm not as sharp as i used to be...

the reward pool is shared, so every post pulls from it, but the pool will never run out unless something crazy happens. Each vote controls how much of the reward pool a post should receive, so if no one votes, the reward pool just grows.

Thank you! The longer i'm here the more i am amazed by the mechanics of how it all works. I'm old enough to remember when computers used vacuum tubes! l probably should have gotten into learning it then right?!

These things are worth a fortune now

That's what I thought. It's bigger because fewer people are using Steemit.

Not sure if that is good thing.
