I don't know a lot of the details yet but I'm sure that a few of the witnesses will break it down properly for us once the turbulence is over. Basically to introduce the new token they had to reset the blockchain which reset all our voting power to zero. The value of posts hasn't gone down but everybody stopped voting for a couple of days to let it fill back up to a useable level. So less voting means less earnings but that should get back to normal by tomorrow. Bots would be the same as they use rented voting power to operate so weren't voting either.

RC means that the people using the blockchain most will need the most resources to use it. Your RC will be based from your steem power so if you want to use the blockchain eccessivly you will need more steem power to do it.

This shouldn't be an issue for the average user and what I think they are trying to do right now is get the balance right which will allow smaller users to be active on the blockchain with the amount of RC that they start out with. Enough for a reasonable amount of comments and votes every day. For accounts wanting to make thousands of actions per day the will need a large amount of RC to operate which will mean powering up or renting steem power.
