RE: Pay attention to the Active Pages, and forget about the money.
Something I'm noticing about the fluctuation of what's being earned by this post, too...
The more active the conversation in the comments are, the more it earns. If it is left to simmer too long with no activity, it literally starts losing Steem.
I wandered over here from the followup thread about this post being devalued. If this is actually what is happening here, this makes no conceivable sense. There are 237 people who have weighed in positively on this post and the comment section has been steadily climbing to now around 100. For the payout to plummet almost $1,000 simply because traffic or activity on your post quieted down briefly seems insane. Those 237 people didn't take back their upvotes just because things slowed down after the initial zerg rush. It seems like Steemit goes out of its way to create entirely unnatural ecosystems.
Incidentally I have also noticed the same phenomenon on my posts (diminishing payouts) though not nearly to this degree. I really hope you figure it out and are fairly compensated.
What's interesting is that this comment you replied to was made before the payout incident happened, and I was actually referring to something else entirely. The issue you're referring to is still a concern until I'm able to get a response from the higher-ups. Thanks for your support. No idea what happened.
