DEPLETING UPVOTES

in #steem7 years ago

I noticed that upvotes are sometimes depleted, I wonder what will be the cost of this depletion. Do we share percentage on total upvotes profit and somebody have higher value or power that is eating the shares of low members like me? or there is some sort of scam going on? If that is the case then maybe this post will serve to raise awareness on our fellow steemians.

I just started steemit few days ago and I do not know about this yet, can someone enlighten me and any other newbie out there?

Your comments and explanation will help my fellow beginners and also this will raise awareness to all. Thanks!

A concern and curious steemian.

it's because the pending payout is an estimation based on the current price of steem in external markets. So if steem price goes down pending payout is soon to follow, if it goes up the opposite happens, even without number of votes changing, but in either case the amount of steem you gain from the post remains the same from the 50/50 split.

Thanks! I mean like this comment of your it payout total of $0.19 now, then it depleted tomorrow. I noticed it last time i checked.
