RE: Potential Payout Changes with HF 19 Launch
THANK YOU @ positivesteem, I've only been on here for the past three days, and I've posted a few articles and seen many different amounts of potential payout and have the same amount of upvotes/comments etc. Is there a reason for this? Followed @timcliff and @positivesteem. Keep up the good work!
It's partially because, in the last 2 weeks, active daily authors has moved up by 6x. Price has only doubled.
That's a reduction to 1/3rd of the previous available rewards prior to 6/1, if evenly distributed. I suspect either Steem will have to rise in price, or we will lose a lot of these new accounts to this frustration soon. (Then again, can we really expect more than a few pennies for content when we are new with no following?)
Yes there is a reason for the different payout amounts even though your posts may each have the same amount of votes. It's because it depends on WHO is upvoting your posts and how much Steem Power and status that they have. Otherwise you could just create 100s of accounts and vote up your own posts and get rich.
Not all votes are equal.1 vote by a whale may give more payout than 10 votes by minnows.
