RE: "Dear Dawne" Live Today! - Gaining Visibility Requires Increasing Exposure

in #deardawne • 7 years ago (edited)

This is such a wonderful initiative @davemccoy and @goldendawne! It's like a "Minnow 911" service! You are both two remarkable humans and Steemians! Your brain and heart would have a tough competition if they were to compete with each other!

I do have a question regarding the value of posts. I am understanding what makes the value of a post increase. But what makes the value of a post DECREASE? I don't pay close attention to the "money" (as in life - sigh), but I happened to notice on a couple posts, a reduction in value. Why/how is this?

Thanks again to both of you for all you do here! Of course Upvoting and Resteeming

    The amount of reward for your post can decrease for 3 main reasons.

    1. As Dawne says someone can downvote you, this is the least likely in your case.
    2. The internal value of STEEM decreases, in this case you get less SBDS in your payout but more SP.
      2a. The reverse of this is also true. If the price of STEEM rises, your SBDs will increase but the amount of invested STEEM you receive decreases.
    3. People that had not yet voted; cast their votes for someone else decreasing your portion of the entire pool by adding more portions to said pool. <-- this has to do with how active other accounts are on the STEEM block-chain.
      If only 20 accounts have been active for the last week that have but all of a sudden we have an increase in user activity to 35 accounts; we still have the same reward pool to share but have added another 15 people to spread it out across. All shares will be less especially if the 15 accounts that have started to vote have a large SP holding.

    How thoughtful and generous with your time you are, @royaleagle! Thank you for your detailed response. I probably should be dismayed that I couldn't understand most of it, but I am not! I suspect things will start falling into place and making even more sense! I am not as clueless and apprehensive as I was 50 something days ago when I started steemit - thanks to helpful Steemians like you who "step up" and help!! Cheers!

      @davemccoy, thank you for letting me know about Chip, your rival! I did go visit @starjewel's Blog and caught the critical episode in Miss Spikey's fishy affairs - hehe. I enjoyed @starjewel's story telling and creative talents, yet again! Resteemed and upvoted.

        Decrease- there are a couple of reasons.

        1. Over the course of the seven days, you do lose some power of the post, so the monetary payout amount does go down some.
        2. If someone down votes the post for reasons of disagreement, possible reward amount payout, or even possible plagiarism concerns.
