I think it was deliberate. I think there are two possible scenarios. That it wasn't quite working the way they intended like someone else said in the comments or it just didn't reflect well on the way packs of bots are auto upvoting posts. It would sort of look fishy to outsiders and even to the people here who consistently see certain people upvoted automatically getting high payouts for whatever they post. It could cause a sense of unfairness when people see the numbers.
Yes and the unevenness will be less obvious. It may still be there but if those people getting pennies are getting tens of dollars instead it eases the pain.
I was looking at it a lot just out of curiosity and then suddenly saw it wasn't there anymore.
So do you think it was deliberate? Might just be a bug.

True. If that is the case they might wait until the Steem price is higher before bringing it back.
That is possible. The numbers will look more impressive when the traffic spikes.
