Good morning @thekittygirl!
Congratulations on the two years! I have been here a few months longer, as I cam in June, but, yes, the experience has been much the same. I think what really spoiled it for us was the really good times where even as a minnow, my upvote was way bigger than it is now! Oh, those were the good times! I hadn't a clue what was going on, but, I was enjoying it!
The change is different than what I wanted, but, I actually do seem to be getting better rewards. I have not had the time to sit and analyze it, but, I can see my steem grow daily, something it wasn't doing before.
So perhaps there is hope. I was a little miffed about my vote going to nearly nothing, but, continue to do things much the same as I ever did. So. I raise my glass to all of us and wish us luck!!
Happy Steemversary!!
