You could use the power down money to start playing Steem Monsters. I do think it is an ecosystem you can trust as both of the cofounders are top 10 witnesses. I say that because of the recent events where many people feel like they were scammed by the game Drug Wars.

Around a month ago, I decided that I was going to quit posting other than occasional Steem Monsters posts. I also decided that I would continue to play Steem Monsters everyday rather than video games. I haven't even turned on my Playstation since I began playing. Finally I decided that I would read, upvote and comment at occasional times.

I would miss your cat posts the most if you quit. Overall my favorite and most memorable post of yours was about you making some dough at 16 years old: https://steemit.com/writing/@averageoutsider/the-night-i-almost-got-robbed-in-a-n-y-c-subway

Thanks Mike; yes that is an option worth considering, the only problem is, that I kind of lost my interest in gaming 'wayback' in the Mario Brothers, Donkey Pong, Mr. Do, Robo-Tron?, and Ms Packman days LOL.

Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq

Yup. The same has been happening with me too. A post I made recently about DrugWars had a potential payout of somewhere around $7.36 as far as I can remember.

But now, after 7 days, the value shows an exact figure of $7.001. Where did the $0.359 go? Vanished in thin air?

It's really sad that you're powering down. I honestly wouldn't want you to leave the platform. Your contests were my first big push on Steemit and to see you thinking of leaving is truly sad.

I'd suggest you to stay, but I don't think I'll be able to convince you if you've made your mind. To whoever you wish to give your Steem, I hope they're worthy enough.

Lastly, if you really are leaving (which I still don't want you to), please make a last goodbye post. I'd love that.

Hi Ayushjalan, thanks for your response. I haven't made up my mind yet as to what I'm going to do, but I 'am' changing my activity.
Have a good day.

Oh nooo, I think I saw that happen once, but thought I must have imagined it. WTF? I'll be sad to see you go. Have you tried other front ends like SteemPeak, does it still happen there?

Have not tried other apps tied to steem. I know that 'some' reward much better at a point, but all rewards are tied to the same pool; the one vulnerable to the linear reward system and large stake holders self-voting which 'often' hurts us at payout (Not really noticed if price of steem has risen during the seven day period sufficiently enough)

I'm still not exactly sure what I'm going to do here in the future. A lot depends on factors I may not have yet considered, or some that may change.

Thanks for your input.

That just depends on Steem's price fluctuation and total votes in the network. Steem's accounting system is fine in that regard. My complain is only about the way rewards are misaligned.
