The voting payout has been greatly reduced since 2-3 days. I didn't know about the whale no vote experiment. It seems that the experiment is over and that whales are now voting and draining out the reward pool. The high payout was temporary and artificially created by a group of whales. I don't know whether I am too happy with the experiment, they misled many users into believing that they had a lot of voting power. I was misled for sure.
