Well you see I do have to make the Actifit posts, that is just to keep myself aware that I have to make those 10,000 steps every day, and it has worked I have lost over 20 lbs and a lot of belly fat. As for only having 268 SP well I have withdrawn about $1,000.00 worth of Steem sometimes I do get into financial straits and it has helped out. Do I regret it? Not really I would have about 1,500 SP if I hadn't done that. As for you having achieved more than I, I think you didn't understand what I meant by this " I don't post good material so I don't expect much", I think that should explain much of it. See this isn't personal, I am not so conceited that I think I deserve more because I know I don't, what really irks me is that for example that reward curve idea, it is killing people who actually are scoring benefits every day from their Steemit posts like people from some African countries or Venezuela, all this hard fork has done is just cut their rewards in half so if before thanks to Steemit they were able to buy one meal now they only get half of that.
Now I am from a third world country Honduras, and I think that in fact we have more poverty than Venezuela, but we don't have the problem of a rapidly devaluating coin, so getting money in a foreign currency is not that big a help for us except of course if we are talking of hundreds of dollars. And even though I have taken out Steem to patch up some problems there is no way that with what I make here I could even pay for my internet connection.

That's fine. I don't see a problem with making Actifit posts. And yes, you said you don't expect them to
make much. But why lament the fact that they are not paying not even as much as they were prior to HF21? How much are they worth to the stakeholders of Steem collectively or the outside world?
I see.
It is not the purpose of Steem to pay for the meals of anybody who isn't providing commensurate value. The curve was introduced to take away the rewards from the spammers and the low-level vote farmers so that more would be left for the community-oriented honest content creators. I've seen a lot of low-effort posting and plagiarizing done by a lot of people here, particularly from South Asia. Back in the spring of 2018, there was one guy who used to beg for handouts in the comment section of my blog and that of a friend of mine. I think he was from India. I looked at his blog and asked him to make better posts. I told him I'd gladly help him if he posted stories about ordinary life in his town with photographs or about the local economy, climate or politics or something like that. Anything. He couldn't bring himself to try. I follow and support good Indian bloggers. And I also have supported and donated liquid funds to people in tough situations. Those people were in the Philippines, Nigeria, Russia and South Korea. (I don't like it when the largest accounts exploit the system, either. But recently, there has been a remarkable shift in the behavior of some of the worst of them.)
At the same time, curation was made more profitable so as to motivate curators, which is why I am here now. I'm your #newsteem. Please give me a list of people you interact with and who you think deserve better rewards and I'll take a look at their content.
