Temporarily Reduced Payouts

You might have noticed something a bit odd on the trending page! As you may or may not know as part of the recent hardforks some changes were made to the way the Steem algorithm will be distributing payouts. One of those changes is to use a 30 day moving average to determine how much Steem should be distributed daily in order to make the rewards more stable and enable users to more reliably predict the amount of rewards they can earn on a day-to-day basis. One consequence of this is that as the protocol switches over to this system today (the beginning of the 30-day period) rewards will be unusually low for the next couple of days. However, don’t fret, this is temporary and rewards will steadily increase as the system reaches equilibrium. This is a one-time event as a consequence of switching to this more stable system. We appreciate your patience.

Such a bad idea. Allowing people to depend on income is a bad vision for the platform. It should be focused on engaging casual user who posts occasionally like Reddit. Oh well maybe hf28 will get it right.

Who depends on income here? I think you haven't really understood that vision yet...;)

judging by much of the content I skim through, the hope for income does represent many peoples motivation

Sure! It's a motivation - but not a dependency. How could you depend on something that doesn't exist :) I by myself couldn't make a living of steemit incomes and I am not doing bad here. Maybe in the future it could be like this, but not now. Until then we should focus on building great brands that will payout in the future.
That's at least my point of view 😉

Referring to this

n order to make the rewards more stable and enable users to more reliably predict the amount of rewards they can earn on a day-to-day basis

The scaling changes in HF17 are critically essential if we are to grow to even a fraction of the size of reddit.

The changes were made out of scalability requirements, not explicitly to allow people to depend on predictable income. That's just a side effect.

A better way of putting it would be "to make reward amounts more predictable for both voters and publishers alike".

Thanks for your response

I wanted to do a gif of him chasing John down the hill on skis yelling I want my 2 dollars!! Lol but couldn't get it together fast enough

Brilliant! I had one of those combs. I thought they were so cool.

Haha yeah I believe I had one as well but I'm fuzzy on that , they defiantly were super cool in the 80's

Better Off Dead was a great flick!

Thank you for trying to cover for the Empire. But it is completely unnecessary. I already told everyone that I took all the steem and bought this:

I suppose your engineers insisted that a muffler wasn't needed in space since sound isn't an issue in a vacuum, but a few baffles in a resonance chamber under there would have served just as well too.

I would suggest a notification at the top of the webpages on Steemit regarding this effect so the wider community (especially newer users) know what's actually happening.

Ouch! Hahah I had some really good amounts on my posts. And they dropped to nothing. Thank you for the update though.

They will recover over the week.

Amazing that you have a good amount in your posts :)

You're telling me.. I'm new and this is all really confusing. I have no clue what's going on

Thank you! Yes, this is an important piece of information for the community at large... seems a lot of people are sitting still, wondering "what to do next."

The answer would be "keep posting as normal," because this is NOT the time for everything to grind to a halt because people feel confused.

What impresses me most is how your comment was made with decline payout. :) Thanks @abit. This community will thrive because of people like you working to improve it, even if your actions are unpopular at the time. Thanks for your leadership.

how do you decline payout for a comment?

Done with the command line client "cli_wallet".
