Can you explain why earnings decreased by 40% since we get paid in SBD?


Steem, SP, SBD, earnings...

I still don't get it.
As I joined Steemit, this platform, it all was earned:

  • Steem
  • Steem Power and
  • SBD (Steem basic dollar)

I was told 1 SBD stood for 1 US dollar.

The payout of SBD stopped and we only earned Steem and SP.
If you do not power up 100% it says your earnings are divided 50-50.
It was not quite equal divided, my SP was always a bit more.

What changed and why?

  • Steem is no longer earned unless someone transfers it directly into your wallet!
  • SP is earned and you can only lay hands on it if you power down and wait 13 weeks.
  • Upvotes/earnings are paid in SBD only.

As I just checked the market I noticed 1 SBD is 0.21 US dollar. This is exactly the same value as 1 Steem.

But... no matter how I calculate my "amount" of earned Steem is not paid out in SBD. It is not even close to 50%, not even 25%. It is 10%!
Can anyone explain to me how this is possible, what changed and how come this big change is not told to the users? Didisn't new Steem start with a newsletter and said it was so much better as the old Steem?

Can you explain to me, and other Steemians, why the payments decreased?
As new Steem started I said soon we will no longer be rewarded for posting here. Is this the start of it?


  • Ned took the money

  • It is part of the deal as Steemit was sold

  • New Steem no longer exists so no newsletter

  • The reason for earning less is... (Please, let me know!)

  • Other, .... (Please, share your opinion)

Answer the question at dpoll.xyz or here. I appreciate your vote and explanation and with me many other Steemians.
