No, he was talking about the general good health in ALL small blogs here, @netuoso. The discussion was not about me at all. We have talked further and this is what he believes - that the smaller blogs are doing better. I disagree since my main function here is writing minnow tips and I saw the loss immediately post-fork. Then we had a lull, and now they are dropping like flies agian. Some of the bigs tried manual curation for a few weeks but most of them have stopped now since it is not easy work.

We were trying to get to 10K minnows on one project this year and were at about 9800. Now we are at about 9200. Six hundred minnows leaving is significant.

My three niche blogs are having uneven results. If a post "hits" it gets nice rewards. For me the hits ar ecoming slightly more frequently than they were. But my standard payout is about 60% of what is was before the fork and this is true for all who do not bust through the reward curve.

The low payouts are the cause of so many who are either taking a break, or powering down for good. When it took them a year of "working STEEM" to get 400 sp this is not an rash decision.
