RE: Feedback wanted: I went from $30-40 a day three months ago, to less than $3-4 per day now...
Reputation is pretty meaningless, since it only measures the stake which has upvoted you. A couple big bidbot vote buys, and you've got a great reputation score. While I have never bought a botvote, and my reputation is organic, since I know reputation can be bought, I don't put much stake in it. Pun unavoidable.
I reckon the constant hemorrhage of users has contributed to the reduction in your income. If you dig into the charts, it is revealed that whales receive 90+% of the rewards on the platform. The rest of us share the remainder, and since the price of Steem plunged in the last year, the $ you have received have plunged concomitantly. That would be my best hunch regarding your question.
Thanks, V-C. I thought I had alluded well enough to the idea that reputation scores SHOULD mean something, and that if the whales are/were serious about wanting to make positive changes that they could/should take whatever actions (including disincetives for bid bot buying of reputation scores) in order to make that come to pass. I guess not.
That is a subset of the argument I've been supporting pretty much from the time I arrived...i.e. That the influence of bots in general, needed to be totally reigned in.
Thanks for your succinct (as always) comments.
It wasn't purely the drop in steem price that hurt me, I don't think. It was actually, I think, more about the unexpectedly low (and dropping) activity of the site in general, I think, that hurt more.
Seems like they are just interested in paying themselves with new steem instead of increasing the price.

It sure does!
I am about to send you another share of SBI. Seen any votes from the previous share?
