The rewards pool is shrinking big time since HF19. I wonder what effect this will have on the platform? Maybe whales need to chill out for a while and let the rewards build back up? I guess we will see what happens. Will people post less?
Rewards pool shrinking
8 years ago in #rewards by davidp (54)
$14.08

- - Author $13.73
- - Curators $0.35
i've been posting less already, my posts rarely gain traction insce HF19 :(
Exactly , I read the exact some thing on another blog , will tag you if I can find back the post
This graph is from @elyaque's post

It is on a sharp decline and it must be due to how people are being more conservative regarding voting.
It is quite distressing.
Also I've seen my posts declining in value over time which didn't happen much before the hardfork
I've noticed the same.
upvoted mate
hi, dont worry, its gonna get up again sooner or later :)
@davidp: Yeh this is really sad for all new users like me who really want to do something from here. I though that Steemit maybe the best thing happened with me for while. Now it's really sad :(
Rewards pool is shrinking?? I haven't heard about it yet. I wonder how can i check it out. I hope it will be better after a while. This place has become a working space for so many creators.
I think it's fairer with the new platform update. What do you think?
agree.....but if it runs out it might be too much!
for sure it will raising again soon ,but this is a big problem at the moment . upvoted
what is HF19?
The hard fork we just went through that made some changes to the platform.
Thank you, I will study further.
Right, I was wondering the same; thanks for verbalizing it.
what is hf19 david? i dont know
It was the "hard fork 19" where a bunch of changes/improvements were made. Posting and curation rewards went up significantly afterwards. Pretty much everyone has been happy that I've seen.....but I'm a little worried the rewards might dry up!
I guess that could be possible david. I'm new on steemit, but when im excited about something i go in for 200%
While i tryed to understand the system behind steemit, the hf 19 happened, and i oberserved, that many whales, if not most steemians, where pushing money out of hell and similar to that all of their vote power breaks down. On the longterm i think things will regulate by itself. Or do you think they will do another change with hf20 or something like?
I think it will get up soon again ! So there is nothing to worry about it.
