RE: ROI on having Steempower has become dynamic + Steem price tipping point.
We are still going down despite the buys, STinc halting their selling and all the optimism. Which means more sells than buys.
I also see a trend where the bigger boys are getting more, and the smaller the same as before (which means less due to the 50/50 now).
Personally I'm doing well out of the new regime, but I'm fearing a closed shop situation. For the good of the platform, and STEEM we need to encourage the smaller fish to invest more, and thus raise the price of the token.
Something I'm going to bring up during SF4. Are you going to Bangkok?
The smallest of the smalls are getting about 20-30% less per post and leaving in droves, @slobberchops. This is the part of the pool where I play and all places I post have 20-50% less participants than before the fork. I am winning all kinds of contests I never did before since no one else is there, so go me. I am doing somewhat better, most little fish are not.
I will be in Bangkok, for the STEEMFest dates due to my visa needs for Malaysia. But unless I win it, get more support on my posts, or STEEM moons, I will not be paying the conference fee and will be the roving reporter outside the venues. I have a few events and meetups happening outside of the official ones already, and cannot wait.
This does bother me, but I still feel good writers will be seen. I try and promote good stuff if I see it, but I only have so much time.
Having been to SF3 and knowing what to expect, I think you will find you may be on your own and out of it. It's a very sociable event but the first two days will be inside and closed to you.
It may seem expensive but you get all the trips included. These also will be off-limits to you to you. Food is also part of the ticket price.
I know a few other people who are going but not going. So hopefully we can entertain ourselves. I'm a nomad anyway, so I am always on my own and out of it. lol. I currently live in poverty in Malaysia. I am not holding cash I could otherwise spend on the fee. It does not "seem" expensive. It "is" expensive.
Here's a good redfish post I'm trying to boost today if you are interested. This is a great author, trying hard for 20 cents on each post. She is one of those who is not giving up at the moment, even though her posts used to get more.

It looks like someone just boosted one of her other posts, and she gets a lot of comments, so I think she is a winner.
@myjob is part of @steevc's #tenkminnows incentive and I follow the trail, so she gets votes from me on every post.
I'm so glad to hear that. I'm trying to push that place as well.
A short look at his voting history explains that pretty well. Maximzers jump onto posters they know will earn well to keep getting irrational ROI numbers. New accounts get less than before, because voting them is considered a waste.
Long way to go for minds to change to do good for all of the platform instead of hunting percentages. If it's even possible.
The last sentence stuck out. It's tempting to do this and I have my share of people on auto-vote at 4 mins to max curation too.
I do plenty of manuals as well, and ensure I find and support a new or low value post daily. If everyone did this, maybe we would see a change.
