HF19 update is nothing to do with it but it has impact in other way.. It is the magic of Steem Price which is sliding along with all other Crypto Currencies for the past 3 or 4 days. Steem is currently trading at $1.70 something. And SBD at $1.50. Our rewards are SBD.. so, our rewards has significant drop as per the trading price. Nothing to worry.. I guess you have still some time for your payout. Hope it will bounce back.

And the number of votes really doesn't matter Bro.. their power(Steempower) contribution is also very important in post's rewards. for example if a minnow like me upvotes you, you will get 0.02 increase.. because I have very less steem power. If any member upvotes you with less steempower, it is of no use except to feel happy that we have number of votes..

If one or two whale members upvotes your post with 100% steempower, your reward will be like $80 to $100 just because of their full strength votes..I hope you must using steemd.com/your username. You can check all the upvotes power when some one upvotes...
