RE: Hardfork 21 is HAPPENING. What will change?
I earn less than 20 steem per post, don't like the idea i will be earning less :(

I guess your options are to try harder, buy votes, or accept the loss.
Yup! Those are basically the options for most of us. I will probably have no option but to accept the loss.
Thank you for your suggestions. Ive been here for 3 years, i work hard enough in here and will not buy votes. You forgot 1... stop trying..
Especially someone like you should benefit from the higher manual curation in this system and that people with shitposts buying votes will now lose their money due to flags.
I am seen a lot of hardforks on here. The only members i ever see win are always the whales.
The whales won before those hardforks, after them, are winning right now and will win afterwards. I think there is not much we can do to solve this right now. But, I believe that this hardfork will be worse for abusers and shit posters. This means more rewards should be left over for the good authors
Im not going to stop trying. Put over 3 years in to this and love the members. The members are a big reason why i am still here :)
No, the 'pro shit posters' will just use MORE bid bots.
Awesome, I'm going to flag all of them and they'll lose money. Even better. And the bidbots will lose the curation (also money). That's a win-win for me.
I guess your options
Are to try harder, buy votes,
Or accept the loss.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
Yeah, that "earning less" thing is going to be a sticking point with a lot of folks that are new or relatively new to the platform, or just are much smaller in size; I haven't earned a lot on my posts either, so I can understand your position as well, though equally, I've been on here less than a year!
Earning less does slow down my plans to bring another account (with a completely different set of topics) onto here, so it definitely makes me think about things a lot more as well!
I agree with you, if i am going to be earning less then why should i keep trying as hard as i have been for the last 3 years.
As I said earlier, it makes me glad that most of my posts are crossposted elsewhere, because I'd have to write those posts anyway; the extra few minutes to copy-paste (and adjust the text for the platform) isn't really going to bend me out of shape, as it's just a few minutes extra, considering I could have spent up to an hour typing up text anyway; I generally use Steemit as the editing medium, as it's the only social platform (except for Golos, which I can't login to atm, and also WordPress) where I have to put the tags in a different section, as opposed to the main body of text, so it makes sense to start it there, then modify it to go elsewhere!
Either way, I'm not looking forward to seeing my loss, but I'll definitely be making use of the tribes where appropriate, as even if I don't get STEEM, I can at least get some tokens as some form of compensation, although I am constantly earning SNAX via activity on here and on Twitter, but I don't know how to make them work for me yet, and I'm trying to save up to get another account on here related to completely different topics; I'm not sure if I'll ultimately bring the account on here (especially as I have a long way to go to reach the threshold for making a new account), but I'll continue to save regardless, where possible!
Sounds like you are on top of this, I haven't got a clue what will happen and what those other tokens etc are, I have managed to drag myself through 20 hardforks and 3 hard years but unfortunatly for someone who has no clue i don't know what will happen with my account :(
I'm somewhat on top of it, but I guess the fact I don't exclusively rely upon this platform for social media posts does help things in some respects, although right now, this platform, via its cryptocurrencies and tokens is the only consistent way I'm earning anything at all under this namespace, except for the very occasional Twitch subscription or bits, of which I haven't had much of recently, so, for now, this platform is actually my main source of "income" in terms of any content I create under this name.
I haven't even been here a year yet, but it does seem very tricky for anyone under a certain point to be visible on this platform, and in conjunction with those getting 20+ STU on their posts getting more, and those below that getting less than they did before, it's definitely going to hit the smaller posters quite a bit, but equally, we won't know how things will start to go at least till a month after the fork, but also, we need to see what happens over the remainder of the year; for now, I just have plans to get parity of posts with my Steepshot and Instagram accounts, and that's happening regardless of how much STU, SNAX or other tokens I get, as I just want to make future photo posts easier to make!
Hopefully though, things will pan out for us, but we won't know properly for a few months yet! All that said, I'm actually monitoring a handful of my posts to see how the reward levels change between now and after the fork, though I suspect that it'll be a week after the fork happens that the changes will come into play, as I think that any posts made prior to when the fork actually occurs will be rewarded under the old system, and any posts made after the fork is implemented will come under the new system!
We will just have to wait and see. Hopefully we will all gain if only a little. I'll keep an eye on your posts :)
Yeah... here's hoping! And thank you :)
