Yep I did notice that since last week. I checked eSteem's VP that time and it was only around 60% (used to be 95%+ weeks ago when almost all of my posts are getting voted), I thought the reason I was no longer getting upvotes from them was because it was recovering, so I tried steempress instead this week as I've also heard some great things about it from some people.

Most of them said that steempress focuses mostly on quality contents and gives the appropriate upvote based on quality so I thought this one was more perfect for me. But from the looks of it, I've noticed right now that they are mostly just trailing popular curator groups (curie, ocd, steemstem), and the rest are all pretty random.

Since I am not a member of some community groups which curie (or other curator votes) trail, I think me getting constant steempress votes is not ideal and will just mostly rely on my luck. I did get 2upvotes from them though out of 6posts. So I might continue using it for another week. :)

If the loss is still great (they are taking 15% of the potential payout rewards), I might switch back to Busy again as I've always believed on this too:

Smaller steady upvotes > bigger random upvotes

Cheers!
