I have noticed a huge decrease in post payouts since the hardfork as well, but in a different way. What I have noticed is that I am getting WAY fewer votes on posts than I used to. Before I would average between 60-90 votes per post, now I am lucky to get 25. Not sure why this is but it is just a new thing for me I guess, at least I am still averaging around $15 per payout which is much more than most. I have noticed as well what I think is the reward pool draining a bit again. My 100% upvote at full power immediately after HF19 and before the whale no voting experiment stopped was worth almost $9. Now I have noticed that my 100% upvote at about 85% power is worth around $3.5-4.00, which I think can be attributed to the reward pool being spread out as well? Either way I agree with you, even if I am making less right now I think that the new direction is an overall good thing for Steemit and the right way to go.

It is very interesting and we will see over the next few weeks what it is looking like at that point. Hopefully someone can pull some stats on how much of the reward pool ultimately goes on people upvoting their own comments.
Well I know at least some of mine is going that way, though I have calmed down a lot since the hardfork first launched. It's difficult to not see it as a path to supplementing that lost income though, especially when I can upvote my own comments and make like $4 a pop, could be that the hard fork might be going in the direction of people just upvoting their own stuff to oblivion, we will see I guess!
