Views are down.
My experience as well.
OTOH, even with the overdrawn reward pool, fewer views, and less interaction (which I think is the result of so many new Steemers on our feeds...a good thing!), I am making more simply by upvoting my own posts (not comments)
HF19 has been best for us Dolphins, in my experience.
even with my comment voting at a dime a shot, I am helping out Minnows with more effect than I was under the previous reward distribution...when I find Minnow content I find valuable, that is. But just because I don't find a lot of that (since my interest is very narrow) doesn't mean that the flood of new users isn't a good thing.
Good observations and reSteemed!
