RE: STEEMIT: Buy Votes, Get Paid!
Agree with you. Maybe I was just not saying it clearly, but what I was trying to say you already said perfectly in your guide.
Let's pretend a piece of content is currently worth $5. But then, many other posts suddenly become highly-upvoted. The money to pay those popular posts needs to come from somewhere, so a portion of your post's value is reallocated to these newly-popular posts. Now your post may only be worth $4.50.
It can work the other way around too...
Let's say a post is currently worth $5. Over the next few days, new Steem is created, but only half as many people are voting compared to recent days. That means there's a lot of new Steem with nowhere to go, so it goes to the posts that already has votes - the ones with pending payouts. Now your $5 post may have increased to $6.
This isn't exactly how it works, but it's the simplest way I know how to explain it.
