its dropped because the drop in price of both steem and sbd... And you don't need to be concerned but when it drops like that it may not make too much extra... This is the first day day I have seen it drop and its dropping everywhere because I guess that is what happens when the price in the market drops...

But to give you some context so you can understand out of the .50 sbd you sent in, you might get only .47 sbd and .09 SP... this isn't bad, it just means you didn't make very much... But you still basically get your money back with a small profit...

Also to see how I have done on each payout by going to my author rewards page : https://steemit.com/@davemccoy/author-rewards you can see all the ones that are close to .50 sbd and those are all the ones I sent in .50 sbd.. I'll send you some screen shots to show you the bad ones to ease your fears (here)

And yes read my article, it will explain it a little more... bottom line it is helpful and you will be happy when you see enough of them... and when you understand it completely, you will completely get what to do...
