Hey @flauwy I submitted a bid within the last 15 minutes of the bidding window.

I think your issue is with the guy who placed 2 x $16 bids that came after me.

I've used it a few times at that rate and this is the first time it's not worked out profitable for all involved. I appreciate that smaller votes don't increase the reward pool as much and that you can get close to the rate of return by bidding lower amounts but in all other instances I've managed 25-30% of the vote.

If it makes you feel better, average out your returns over your other posts.
