You think now is bad, you are lucky you didn't (or did you?) go through HF18 when it was implemented, we all LOST our accumulated post rewards up till that point....in some cases 100s or more per post (not me though I'm nowhere near that level yet). Needless to say there was anger.
Please don't give up, of you don't want to post then at least comment on posts or in comment threads because that counts too. Good luck and Steem on.
