That is my mindset. Although the decrease in SBD price hurting rewards but that was bound to happen at some point. SBD being inflated was a gift to take advantage of when it was like that. Now that it is returning to norm, payouts are matching.
That said, the reward pool does not change, only the number of people sharing in it. Like you said, might as well get what we can.
A winning strategy in sports is to do your best and not let the score influence how you play your game.
This applies here as well although we can do as suggested to get busy or busier and also invest in more steem and power up - as in my other comment - one of my 7 rules.
