Here is the content of my prior post... which you can view on other sites like Busy.org, but which is a broken link on Steemit because I used the tag - "tags" as my first tag! Get it? I discovered after posting, that directory is already taken by Steemit.com's tag listing. (steemit.com/tags) When I tried to edit the tag in Busy.org it wouldn't allow it and said that permalinks could not be changed. So I definitely see some URL structuring that I either hadn't noticed or wasn't there before.
prior post...
Maybe I just hadn't noticed it before... but in the last day or so I noticed that the first tag on your post is now a url directory. I'd always thought that before it was simply
steemit.com/username/article title
Whereas now I am seeing
steemit.com/primary tag/username/article title
Just an interesting little change to the backend, if it is indeed a change and I wasn't just oblivious before. I hope it's an indication of better tag sorting and community features on the horizon!

I'm pretty sure that when I was reading up on tags recently, it was stated that the first tag would be part of the URL. Not sure if that's a recent change though.

I used to integrate a lot of links into some personal sites and I know it didn’t utilize the tag at that time, but that was months ago and I might not have noticed a change.
Playing around, it seems you can still enter URLs without the extra tag directory and it finds the post via Just author/post, but redirects to the tag directory URL.
Maybe I’m making too much of it, just found it interesting!

Totally unrelated, but I'm wondering: I just recently built up enough Steem Power that I no longer have any delegated steem (which, I'm assuming, everyone is given enough to have 15 SP to start). So, yay! Except, previously any upvote I gave, as long as I was above 50% power or so, would be worth .01. But now, my upvote is worth 0.0 at 100%. Any idea why that might be?
(Also, I'm very surprised that no beginner's guide to steemit seems to mention that you start out with delegated steem power. That I ever saw, anyway.)

Best guess is that you were borderline awarding .01. However the $ calculations that show are a 3 or 4 day rolling average of Steem value. So, since Steem was falling you saw your vote $ amount decrease. It’s having a great day today, so as the average trends up, your reward should as well.
Second, your vote $ amount is dependent on how many other people are using their voting power. Imagine no one voted for a week. The first person to break the pause would see their single vote, regardless of how much SP they have, give out the entire rewards pool! As others voted after, the payouts would spread evenly again.
I only bring this up because the Steemit corporate account has been sitting on a lot of SP that they do not vote with, thereby giving everyone else a stronger vote than they normally would have. Recently Steemit has begun delegating big chunks (a couple million Steem) to deserving projects. With this SP being actively used now, you could be perceiving it’s effects on vote strength as well.

That's a pretty ingenious bug you found.
Knowing Steemit, they'll get around to fixing it sometime this century.

Yeah, hopefully they'll just make it impossible to create a tag matching an existing "non-tag" directory. I just like to grasp at any hint of big changes on the horizon! Do you recall the links you've shared featuring a tag directory or is it indeed new? Not sure if I'd just never noticed before...

I've never tried it. But you're right that it would be easy to prevent, just by forbidding people to use "tags" as a tag.
But I guess they have more important things to work on.

I’m not really concerned about the bug, just curious about what I think is a whole new directory/organization level. I feel it might be the backend preparation for community namespaces. I.E.

The first year has always been significant, but that's not clear when you are typing it. Need to bear this in mind

That URL structure's been here for a long time, I guess you just never noticed the tag part before the username.

I guess so, and URLs without it still work & just redirect, so the links I made in the past were still valid - it skipped my notice.

You can actually link to your post by replacing your Primary tag with any of the tags in your post. Neat little thing I found out. See this example to this post:
