While I appreciate your view and respect you and your opinion. I have been on this platform.for nearly 2 years now. I know that I primarily post about precious metals, but have shown off my hard work as well as cooking skills. I have NEVER been visited with an upvote by a whale or curated by one. I work way to many hours to spend the necessary time on the platform in order to curate to make a profit. This decrease in author payout is completely moronic and benefits nothing but the whales who were akready making most of the profit. Now they make just about all of it. While I never intended this to be a money making proposition for me, it really sucks seeing what your payout is versus the time spent writing posts. Just when you think they cant F*** it up anymore, they do just that. My feed used to be pages and pages of content, now its nearly nothing. All of my favorite reads are gone and aren't coming back.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
You have absolutely the same sentiment as so many others I have discussed this with, and as you say many have left. It has been shown that post rewards have increased but decreased for accounts - but it’s obviously not happening to the majority. Curation rewards should improve just be voting as you always have - but the biggest gain is voting early on a post that receives a big payout in the end.
I have a absolutely no control on what happens, but it is good that this feedback is presented on the blockchain and I will certainly use this in reference in the future. There is plenty of opportunity for the issues you raise to be resolved, if the people that can influence change choose to. !COFFEEA 15

I am with you brother just take a look at how my post are dried up. The bid bots may have been an issue however if you truly care about CONTENT which is what witnesses and new steem preach so much then why does the use of a bot completely negate the value you added with good content. People do a crap post then down vote them but they do a great post and it trends due to a bot so what. The freedom for all to use these services as well as now be able to go at crappy content are not mutually exclusive. There can be both but to say all post using a bid bot are bad is bull and to say there is a difference between whales that bought their way to their size and those that use these services to try and grow is also a bunch of poop.
