Nearly all, just take me for example,

I'm not asking this just to score points in a debate. I actually want to find greatly under-rewarded authors to vote on and to promote. My own maximum upvote value is only around 8-9 cents at the moment. But my network is much more valuable.

I don't post good material so I don't expect much but before I was getting about $0.40 per post now I get $0.16 (obviously I don't live off of Steem) and even then I will get less percentage off of those $0.16 than I would have gotten before HF21,

The reason for that is the sub-linear part of the curve that causes every post that makes less than about 20 STEEM to make somewhat less than before. It was introduced because there is so much low-level abuse going on that remains under the radar. It has hurt legitimate new authors who make less than before. Better curation incentives are supposed to remedy that. Please try and come up with at least a few accounts you find worth considering.

this is the same for all writers except those few who have gotten in the know, post just claiming that #newsteem is great (like "Now I am getting great curation rewards and their votes are worth $0.04 so now they get $0.10 more a day) and somehow get a vote from HF21 promoters. Now if you only read posts from the people who are making much more now than before because a circle jerk has formed there is no way you will know this is true. I have no problem with people on this circle jerk making money what I have a problem with is these guys are promoting a fake reality Steemit is no better off now and in fact it is in worse shape than before HF21.

The whole platform is definitely not in worse shape than before HF21, in my opinion. At least something is being done about the abuse. Curation is increasingly being taken seriously by the big wigs. Both Bernie and Haejin have stopped fucking around. I never thought I'd see that.

You've been here since August 2016 and you have only 268 SP. How is that possible? I became active almost a year later. You have made about 1700 posts. I have made about 1500. I've made 9500 comments. You have made about 4800 comments. My posts make more than yours. I don't make Steem Monsters posts or Actifit posts. For the last year, I've been making photography posts with 5-10 photos taken with a DSRL in RAW format and edited with editing software or essays one or two pages long almost on a daily basis. What people do here adds up. Getting curated and whitelisted for @ocdb was a big deal last Christmas. But that happened because I'd bought the camera and learned how to take photos and because I'd stayed the course in the brutal bear market. I've always written a lot of comments and I consistently score well in @abh12345's curation league that measures how widely people curate. People remember me.
