RE: Potential Payout Changes with HF 19 Launch
I hope that this amendment will make the payout. It is sad to see quality content only cents. The frustration among the new users is on the increase.

Success takes time and is earned. I understand the frustration at earning .01 for my posts, but I persevere.
That is the right attitude to take. One quality post may earn only a few cents but at the same time attract 3 to 4 followers. Once you have more followers your payout will slowly increase.
Perseverance is the key to success.
New users need to put their skin in the game, so start commenting, engaging, and building a base of followers WHILE posting and doing all that, and those that are in it to make a quick buck from curating or writing an opinionated article offering at best regurgitated phrases and examples and little to any substance in the form of critical thought and facts, or spamming on other topics, or simply spamming "good article", they aren't in the same game as everyone else.
and they should buy some steem power too.
Rome is not built in one day and success at Steemit require both hard work and patience. Where possible new users can be given some assistance to help them succeed.
I feel pretty good about my content and some of it only pays pennies. The thing is that not all good content takes a long time and not all content that takes a long time is good, and even if your content is good, you may be sending it to the wrong audience. So when I get 9c for a post that I worked hard on, I dont take it personally.
This is a good attitude to take. Building reputation and followers take time. We should take a long term outlook.
Just like any investment, social media is always a long-game. Luckily though we're early enough that we get to enjoy / provide for a rich community.
In this case, the early birds really get cans and cans of worms.
THANK YOU @ positivesteem, I've only been on here for the past three days, and I've posted a few articles and seen many different amounts of potential payout and have the same amount of upvotes/comments etc. Is there a reason for this? Followed @timcliff and @positivesteem. Keep up the good work!
It's partially because, in the last 2 weeks, active daily authors has moved up by 6x. Price has only doubled.
That's a reduction to 1/3rd of the previous available rewards prior to 6/1, if evenly distributed. I suspect either Steem will have to rise in price, or we will lose a lot of these new accounts to this frustration soon. (Then again, can we really expect more than a few pennies for content when we are new with no following?)
Yes there is a reason for the different payout amounts even though your posts may each have the same amount of votes. It's because it depends on WHO is upvoting your posts and how much Steem Power and status that they have. Otherwise you could just create 100s of accounts and vote up your own posts and get rich.
Not all votes are equal.1 vote by a whale may give more payout than 10 votes by minnows.
I agree... @timcliff should accept rewards on his posts, unless it is one picture, one video or one sentence. But the thought that goes into these posts deserve compensation for time spent creating it.
I get compensated through my witness payments. When I post something expressing my views as a witness, I feel like accepting payment is 'double dipping'. I make more than enough from my non-witness blog posts as well as my witness pay, that any work that I put in to the platform 'unpaid' is still well worth it.
