How about Honesty. This is NOT temporary. It's been 18 days and the levels are no where near where they were. Not only did we get robbed of the money on the active posts at that time about $30 for me over $100 for some I have seen. But also levels show no sign of coming back to anything close to what they were even with Steem currently at $.25...
And I don't believe they will be coming back to those levels, unless the prices of Steem dramatically increases and you have a large active following using a lot of voting power.
The majority of people making decent payouts ($20-30+) now generally have over 1000 Followers and their actual content really does not matter in many cases from what I have seen. I don't see this as an improvement, but more a slap in face to the users and quality content creators.
