Just stop using this these services for the moment, or at least stop stop until you have read until the end of this article.
With the price of steem plummeting to about $1.1 STEEM/USD in the last few days many have been feeling distressed.
I was talking to @aggroed earlier on and he gave me some wisdom...
"Steem price is lower... reward pool is lower... forget the price. It should not be the focus. Keep going and build strong relationships. We will probably see better days in August".
And it makes sense, STEEM/USD is in the penumbra of BITCOIN/USD and in August there will be a Bitcoin hard fork. And we are all on the edge of our seats waiting to see what happens.
Many of us will focussed on upvotes and earning and that drives us to buy upvotes from RANDOWHALE, BOOSTER, and WORLDCLASSPLAYER, and alike... Now I am not say they are doing anything wrong or doing anything unethical. They are still providing an awesome service. But please understand that the steem prices is halved, and reward pool is halved,and with more of us desperately trying to get a steem dollar here and there, their resources are limited.
I saw a post my WORLDCLASSPLAYER that is open and honest and fullof integrity in saying that things are difficult at present and he can only offer his service at lower returns.
RANDOWHALE and BOOSTER will also be under the stress of more demand and less resources.
So I am not saying don't use them, nor am I saying they are negative in anyway... Just check what they are able to return before. Some of them like booster and always finding more better and more creative ways to get us better returns. But always check first and understand the environment right now.
And use

To check their voting power for that moment. There is nothing more frustrating than to doing this blindly and getting a lower return. Especially now when it counts...
Hope this will help you through this rough month up ahead. Remember, steem on, crete great connections, stay positive. It is us who ride the storm out that will see the rainbows that are coming.
Oh sorry I meant this rainbow...
Stay positive, stay safe, and steem on ;)
