Woah! Not liking the upvote value! There was a time my upvote was worth .35, it had dropped down to 0.1, and now Mark and I combined - and with 6 other upvotes - do not even get to a penny? Ouch! Does not reflect the value of your poetry, but I suppose it is still more than facebook pays.
Thank you, Claire, and you are certainly one who keeps track of these things. As we recently commented, the writers and their readership upon which Steemit is built seem to have been thrown under the bus wheels in order to up the pay for the whales and related. Appears to be a microcosm of the world, these days: killing the goose that lays the golden egg, in exchange for limited short-term gains for a few.
