I think I should clarify about how steemstem functions (just to avoid any misunderstanding).
First, I am not involved in the voting process as much as possible, to avoid any bias that could come from the management. I sometimes interact with the curators but no so much in total.
This being said, please note that over the last 2 weeks, you almost get 10% of all casted steemstem votes (after weighting each vote by its associated voting percentage). You are in fact the most supported user at the moment.
In order to support as many authors as possible and to avoid having a small set of authors sharing all the resources we have, steemstem enforces that any given author should not get more than 5% of all steemstem votes within a 2 weeks period. The exact percentage changes with time (it for instance used to be much lower in the past when we had many more authors), and that the check is manual (so that sometimes, a given user could go above the bar unnoticed).
This is exactly what happened in your case, and this is why the support to this post was lower than usual, even of it is a great post.
When your share will be back below this 5% bar, strong votes will come back, don't worry.
I hope this clarifies. Thanks in advance for your understanding and feel free to message me on discord if you want to discuss this (a chat discussion may be more efficient).
