7 days ago i used MB to upvote one of my posts for around 50 steem. I usually would use Smartmarket due to 15% ROI but since i cant get whitelisted there for higher upvote values i used MB. i am a Buildteam stake holder so i know thats silly of me. Haha.

At that point i noticed something unusual. I used SM first, due to it having 5% higher ROI at the time and @therealwolf refunded my 50 steem i used to upvote my post due to something in the TOS (i assume haha).
Anyways...

I switched to MB and to my surprise the vote values were much lower. Far lower then the 5% difference at that time.

I didnt pay much attention to it even though i contacted my pal @furious-one about it. ("Pal" as in the guy that can take all my annoying questions and not show a sliver of annoyance)
Since i wasnt looking for a profit and wanted to get visibility for my post i didnt make much of it.

Today i used MB again after seeing they raised their ROI to 16%. 1% more then Smartmarket.
I bought the votes and to my shock, after expecting a 16% ROI i was taking a loss of 10 Steem, payout showing i would get 40 Steem back, (50 steem traded to 20 SBD) after seeing that on Smartmarket i would be getting 60 Steem back on their "payout estimate."
Smart market delivers that estimate almost to the cent.

I was perplexed, surprised, shocked even, at a loss of words and itchy. (Not sure why 😶)

Something was up.

Either it was MB that was missing something, there was something going on with the code and @ned was sleeping at the wheel (i meant to say "reins".. Probably riding a donkey to work in this bear market😂), maybe something was on with SBD being at 60% of a dollar, maybe @smartmarket was fixing prices or i was losing my mind.

😂😂😂

After seeing this, i rushed and DMed Batwoman.

Holy Bouncy Boiler Plate, Batwoman! Steem is in trouble! We need to do something!

Unfortunately the batmobile was busted at the time.. 😢

Anyways.😂 (i make myself laugh more then anything else... :D)...

@minnowbooster advertises a 1% higher ROI then @smartmarket but the actual ROI is much lower...

What is going on?

Skip to here.

It seems to me after looking at the information i found that MB isnt adjusting to the 60% SBD to USD problem. I know i overdramatized the issue, (would be a boring post otherwise. Haha) but the difference in payouts is significant and im trying to see what exactly is going on.
I got burned for a few dollars, but you dont have to be.
Im waiting patiently for a response from MB and whatever else someone can add.
