RE: My Introduction to Steemit, Open Source Terraforming & How I became a Voluntaryist

Welcome to the madness, Naiya! Way cooler than facebook, right? :)

Hey - question (because I want to understand, not because I care about 30-odd cents, ha)
but why would a post value go down? do people down-vote articles for a reason other than being offended by the content?

There are a few reasons. The most common is just voting power dilution. We have a certain amount of voting power that depletes as we cast votes. The more we vote, the less our vote is worth. The power replenishes daily but this is why it's perfectly normal to see your payout projection drop... unless you're a an arrogant douchebag that pisses some of the larger stakeholders off and gets flagged down to zero in minutes. ;-)
