This is an interesting topic that I honestly have not thought about until you brought it up. I came on to the platform in mid February and since then the price of STEEM and SBD have been fairly low so I have not noticed a substantial change to my account value. It sounds like anyone that got involved late last year would have seen the exact devaluation of their account as you experienced. I am curious to see if these abuses are going to iron themselves over time or if this is going to turn into just another 1% taking most vs the rest of the 99% fighting for the leftovers. I guess only time will tell and we have to remain patient for the time being. On a personal note, I am enjoying creating content and DtubeDaily is an amazing group to be a part of so I am sticking it out weather we go to the moon or sink into failure :)
