The size of the pie is fixed, but how it gets sliced is not.
Every day, a fixed amount of money is allocated to the "rewards pool". These are the coins that get distributed to authors and curators for posting and voting on content. When users upvote or downvote posts, they are not adding or taking money away from the rewards pool. They are only changing how the pool is divided.
If there is $7,000 in the rewards pool for the day - then that $7,000 is split across all of the active posts based on how many upvotes/downvotes they receive. If there is a post with a pending payout of $500, then that means there is only $6,500 left to be paid to all the other posts.
"Potential Payouts" can go up or down until the payment window closes.
The amount that is shown next to a post is a "Potential Payout". This is an estimated value of how much money the post will make based on the votes that have occurred so far. Until the payout window closes though, this value can go up or down.
- If a post receives more upvotes, the potential payout of the post can go up.
- If a post receives more downvotes, the potential payout of the post can go down.
- If other posts receive more upvotes, the potential payout of the post can go down.
- If other posts receive more downvotes, the potential payout of the post can go up.
- If upvotes are removed from a post, the potential payout of the post can go down.
- If downvotes are removed from a post, the potential payout of the post can go up.
- If the price of STEEM goes up, the potential payout of all posts can go up.
- If the price of STEEM goes down, the potential payout of all posts can go down.
Payouts are split between authors and curators.
Up to 25% of a post's payout is awarded to curators (the people who upvoted the post) as a reward for discovering the content. The other 75% is awarded to the author. If curators vote for a post within the first 15 minutes of it being created, a portion of their curation reward remains in the rewards pool for other authors/curators.
Stakeholders are voting to decide on how the pie gets sliced.
The platform is filled with tons of users, who all have different opinions on how the posts should get paid. The rewards are decided based on the collective wisdom of the group. Some users may feel certain content is more valued than others, and it is up to them to use their upvotes/downvotes accordingly to spread the rewards how they see fit.
A downvote/flag does not mean you did something wrong.
There are many users in the community who recommend only using the flag/downvote on posts that are abusive/bad. It is up to you if you want to follow this etiquette.
Just because you received a downvote/flag does not mean that you did something wrong. They may have just been voting to reallocate the rewards in a way that they felt was more beneficial to the other active posts in the platform. Often users will leave a comment explaining why they downvoted/flagged, but sometimes they might not. If they left a reason, it is up to you to determine if you did anything wrong, and if there is anything you want to change.
Larger stakeholders have more say in how the rewards are divided.
A user with more SP is going to have a larger influence on the way rewards are allocated compared to users with less SP. If you don't like how a particular user has voted, you can counter their vote by voting the opposite way. If they have more SP than you, then your counter will not have as big of an effect. One vote from a user with a lot of SP can often have more of an effect than 100 votes from users with a small amount of SP.
You can buy more SP if you would like to have more power / influence / say.
The platform does not require that anybody purchase SP in order to participate, and there are many users who have become successful on the platform without investing any of their own money. If you would like to increase your voting stake though, then you have the option of purchasing more Steem Power through your Steemit wallet.

Thank you for this clear and very understandable explanation. Unfortunately it leaves me with yet another question...
I was thinking about the issue yesterday already and today I more or less accidentally came across a video clip, which confirms my worries. A famous person opened an account on steemit, got the word out and within a day made close to 15,000.- Dollars.
Now, please don't get me wrong, its not like I don't want that man to have it. My question is, what happens, when the real top superstars pop up here? Millions of fans upvoting most of the "pie" to their accounts? According to what you said, it looks like it will just be like in the real world then... the stars and the rich get even richer and the little guy is left with some crumbs..
Or, what if someone decides to build some kind of "vote farm"... supposedly, there are places in low wage countries, where hundreds of "kids" like away all day for fb users buying likes. Could a similar system "harvest" rewards here like that?
I hope you don't think, I'm just some greedy person who is afraid of not getting enough. Although its a wonderful feeling, to get rewarded for quality interaction, I truly enjoy all the wonderful content I find around here and the conversations are much better than on any other social media platform.
If anyone could help me with my questions, put my mind at ease or point out that I'm simply missing something, I'd be very thankful :-)

Those vote farm would require participants with some voting power to have any effect. So the celebrity would need to spend quite some steem to power up his vote farm. Eventually such manipulations would drive the price for steem up. This would ultimately benefit all, wouldn´t it?

Hm... I think I get your point. I thought of the celebrity thing and the vote farm of being two issues of their own. The celebrities would likely get upvoted by a wide range of fans, with all kinds of voting power.
The vote farms I thought, would be a "business" in a gray zone market. The "employees" could upvote each other for a start... just imagine you have a few hundred "kids" doing that and then use their "power" to make money for the "business"... not sure if I make any sense..

I ike the picture, masses of "kids" sitting one next to the other in huge internet cafes and voting like crazy. Like those world of warcraft-players who dig something or earn items in order to sell them to western WoW players with less time but more money. But how to incentivize those mass-voters, when they themselve never get upvoted because they don´t contribute meaningful content? To calculate how much initial vests they need to create a self-sustaining dynamic of a revoting network is beyond my math skills :-)
And then comes in addition the issue with the voting bots which adds a level of complexity...

Understand what you are saying and it gives hope in a way, that it shows other systems haven't been brought down by similar behavior.
When I talked about vote farms I was referring to something I read, when people started to buy likes and fans for their facebook accounts. The article was about what they called "like farms". We are talking about kids in the poorest countries in the world, who'd never own their own cell phone or a computer. If they'd get a fraction of the profits they generate, I think they'd surely enough be highly motivated...

Great post!
I was just thinking about this the other day and how much I'd love to see a dynamic visualization of the rewards pool. I was imagining something that showed each post as a circle with the size of the circle representing the potential payout amount. The circles could be all arranged in a column which could add up to to the total current rewards pool. The small payout posts on the bottom would bunch up together with the largest post at the top being the biggest circle. I'd love to see something like that. On mouse over it could show the author, the title of the post, and a link.
Anyone up for building it?

No. Resteeming is just sharing the post with your followers. It does not affect the post payout in any way, other than giving the post more views. If the views occur after the payout has ended, then any upvotes will not add to the rewards.

Just reading an excellent post of yours from last year..."Everything you need to know about potential payouts and flagging (for new users)" - Could you put me straight: Would it not be a good idea to make old post continue to earn? I think yes! - or make it possible to resteem them to re-activate their earnings for authors and curators and to help get the post back into circulation if it is truly useful and wanted. I believe like copywriter of a good book the author/curators should continue to earn as long as people enjoy the post.

It has been suggested/requested by many before. It is not that it is a 'bad' idea, but there are a lot of complications with it. One of them is abusive users can vote for their own post, power down, power up a new account, then vote for their post again. They can keep milking rewards forever without adding any new content. There are some other complexities with it as well, like increasing the amount of computations required by the blockchain to calculate rewards.

Hi timcliff, Thank you so much for your reply... ah i see - i did worry there might be such problems - but worth resolving how ever difficult i think. Perhaps through flagging this could be controlled - Btw this leads to another massive point.... flagging must be dangerous for many users if the other party decides to make problems for them - for the reason i think there should be Steem Police! Perhaps with a less repugnant name like Admin hehe... but i believe users need a higher power that can flag and remove bad users and spammers - without any danger of abuse to users. This is perhaps more important than my resteem comment - your thoughts? Is there such people to contact if one runs into nasty/abusive users?
I have had no problems like this on steemit ... but i have read ausbitbanks girlfriend saying she has been severely harassed by a user nogonoo or similar name, from memory!

I think your post is very straightforward and helpful.
I would add one last thing to in order to round it out and make it more personable.
If every whale had access to a large amount of emotional intelligence, I think the system would function much better. For example, reducing rewards for someone who just lost their job and who has never trended before with a high payout would have a much higher collateral damage rating than reducing rewards for someone who is currently being well paid and always trends. The additional element of emotional intelligence can make a huge difference in a platform that at its root is SOCIAL.

Hopefully in situations like that, the community/ whales can counter a single bad vote from one whale. In most cases, it only takes one whale to undo whatever action another whale did that the community disagrees with.

Now, is it still possible, with the limited pay-out pool per day, for one person to create a 'super-- post' like the one they talk about where one person made
$15,000 on one post???
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
The current reward pool is about $6,000-7,000 per day, so the most that a single post could make (if all other posts got $0) would be around $6-7k.
The price of STEEM would need to go up in order for the reward pool to go up to the point that $15,000 rewards for a single post to be possible again. If the price went up to around $1.00 per STEEM coin, then the reward pool would be closer to $60,000-70,000. Then a $15,000 post would definitely be possible.
I think the record was somewhere around $43,000 :)

After HF 17, posts are paid out on a weekly basis and reward pool will contain on average $50,000 and payout an average of $6-7K per day. An extremely popular post (relative to everything else) could still pull in $15K even at today's valuation.
Overall HF17 should smooth the rewards and prevent large posts from dramatically impacting the average payout-per-vote of other posts.

I'm not 100% sure if I understand what you are asking, but every day 100% of the rewards pool will be used up.

Precisely speaking, "every day 100% of the rewards pool will be used up" is a false statement. Actually it depends on voters. Some days more than that, some days less, but on average it's 100%.
Also theoretically it's possible that a post earn rewards accumulated in multiple days. With current rule, when you vote on a post, the payout time extends, so it can "drain" more rewards.

Hi there.
I tried to reply to you on something @beanz wrote about you her and @smooth in a post where you talked about curation and flagging, and comments by the flagger, I could not reply there to you guys, (nesting uggh)
Whales that call DV or even considering that to someone who maybe gets a 40 or $50 payout ~once a month really need to reconsider their total "thought process" or if this is curation. It is not. Proper curation requires more than looking at the trending page all day and deciding whether or not that they are going to DV something vs looking at someone's body of collective work over one post, in one place, once a day.

As long as the post payout does not go negative, the user's reputation will not go down. If there is any positive payout, then the user's reputation will actually still go up - even if there are downvotes on the post.

Hmm.. ok that's great to know. My rep went down 3 points in about a week or 2 after rising always rising steadily and the only change was hardfork 18 and the new downvotes I was experiencing for first time ever. What else would cause a lowered reputation?

I don't have a good answer, without knowing more details. I've seen GUI discrepancies before, where it didn't calculate the number correctly based on what was in the blockchain. The best place to see if your rep score goes up or down is steemd.com. You won't see the calculated score (67) but you should see the raw blockchain number which should be easier to tell if it goes up or down. You shouldn't see cases where your rep score goes down from a post or comment that is downvoted, as long as the payout stays positive.
Note - if you start with X, then get upvoted worth 1000 points, then downvotes worth -800, you may see your score drop by 800, but it is still 200 higher than before the post. I.e. the net change is still an increase.

This is also why recently Steem value has a bit getting lower, money supply or money stock is increasing but the "spiritual" value also called confident or trust has not increased as much as the stock, so the value of each Steem has been getting a bit lower. That's also why some whales who's have been invested in Steem try to decrease the amount created each day, because they loose money (value) even if they keep the same number of Steem/Steem power.

You're spot on, of course, and I have long supported the use of downvotes to express a negative opinion; and changing the Flag to a Downvote as it used to be. Exclusively upvotes and positive reinforcement is unhealthy - there needs to be a diversity of opinion for any robust community.
That said, I'm on the fence now about flagging. It has proven to be deeply unpopular to the wider community, and we need to respect that. I doubt as a community we are ready for it just yet. It'll need a major perception shift and some UI changes that makes downvotes appear as normal and banal as they are on Reddit.

Having the 'flag' and 'downvote' combined into the same function is a large part of the problem. If we would be able to separate those two out and define "acceptable use" policies for each, I think that would sort out part of the issue.
There are always going to be users that get upset if/when part of their reward is removed due to a downvote though. I don't think there is any platform fix that can be made for that.

Users shouldn't feel entitled to any rewards before the end of the voting period.
An easy way to solve this is to hide payout until its actually paid out.

What is hidden can´t be evaluated. And the evaluation of the monetary value of a given piece of content is at the core of the Steemit idea, I think.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

It is the content that should be evaluated not payout. Otherwise you are influencing voter's decision.
Everything could still be viewed on the blockchain anyway.
To me voters should vote based on content and moderators should vote based on payouts.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
As I understand it, the content is evaluated in terms of whether or not the subjectively perceived value of a post is in agreement with it´s reward level at the time-point of the assessment.
If the outcome of this evaluation results in a change of the reward level (upvote, downvote, removal of a previously given up-/downvote) it is supposed to influence the assessment of the subsequent curator.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I guess I forgot about curators, so yeah I' d agree with you that payout is necessary for curators but curators votes for stuff that are going to make them the most money not the stuff they like the most.
In a system where users votes for stuff that they like payouts is not necessary.

I went for a walk after having a heated conversation about this, and came back a lot less angry about the possibility that my posts get flagged/downvoted to oblivion. Of course everyone has the right to downvote my posts, as much as I have to right to get angry about it. I just have to make better posts next time around, no matter how unmotivated I may feel about making them.
Maybe it's not that bad, but I can't help feeling betrayed by the possibility of getting a downvote squad on me after making a better than a $0.25 post.

I agree, it can be a real downer to have a post with high potential rewards go down :(
The best way I think of it is like playing a poker game - you may go up and down in chips, but until you make it to the cash-out window, the money is not really yours to keep yet.
Was there a reason behind the downvote(s) you received?
If it was a content abuse issue (like plagiarism, trolling, spam, etc.) then you'll need to decide on whether you want to keep posting the type of content that will attract that type of negative feedback.
If it was just a disagreement over rewards, then hopefully you can continue to improve and gain more supporters so that your number of upvotes outweighs any potential downvotes from users with a different opinion on what is valued. I'm of the opinion that good content will win out in the end :)

The thing is, I haven't yet received downvotes, but I do see it as a possibility. I have made a couple posts with more than $10 payout, but haven't yet struck big as it is. On one of them I wasn't really trying, so I felt weird, but anyway thought that if the people reading it liked it, why not? After that I really put an effort into the next one and it failed and didn't get almost any payout.
I'm hoping that my next posts about photography will gather more views and votes, as I'm currently putting more effort into them.
I would definitely hate it if I got downvoted after trying so hard to make a real effort to make something of quality. I can understand people not voting up, even if I put effort in my post, but downvotes just to make it pay less sounds heinous.
It's mostly my fear of getting rejected that is doing the talking here, though. Obscurity for being obscure is one thing, but outright rejection and for a good post would definitely feel worse than not having been heard or read at all.

I checked out your blog, and you seem interesting. I've started to follow you now.
When I first started out, I posted tons of content without receiving more than a few pennies of rewards. Then after that it was a lot like a lottery - I would occasionally get good payouts, but it didn't really seem to be directly related to how good my content was. (I posted a lot of good content that never got upvoted.)
Eventually I earned enough followers that when I post good stuff it gets seen by a lot of people. Now I feel like my payouts are more reflective of the quality that I create. (My good content often does well, and when my stuff doesn't do well - I take it to mean that whatever I did wasn't adding much value.) Before, I could easily blame it on not being seen.
I wouldn't worry too much about getting downvoted. Not everybody is going to like what you write, and sometimes people will chose to downvote. Just think of it as part of the game.
My belief is that if you be yourself and post things that add value, that the rewards will come in the end.

Based on what ive seen, those individuals downvoting solely based on the idea that a post is being paid too much are mainly downvoting posts with payouts of $40 or more (based on the current price of steem). And even then, they are typically removing only around half of the payout.
Id be really surprised to see an original content post with $10 in payout being downvoted this way.
The thing you might not get entirely is that downvoting "big" posts (like one with $50 -$200 payout) like this free up more money for lesser paid posts. So, for example, its downvoting like this that might make a less popular post payout a little more. So maybe your post that would have only gotten $5 otherwise, makes it above $10 because its not getting starved out by $150 posts at the top of the 'food chain'.

I get it alright, but if I ever were to get $200 payout for a post and some idiot downvoted it to $20 I'd be truly annoyed. I've seen plenty of >$200 posts to understand that even I could have a chance at that. Now you are saying I can't, because lottery isn't fair?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I hate to sound like a party pooper (or a conspiracy theorist), but you very likely have a near zero chance of getting that kind of payout (given the current price of steem).
Before some whales started downvoting them, the posts that you saw that probably made you think you have a chance-- those posts weren't getting upvoted because of the quality of the material, or because they got lucky and won a 'lottery', but were the people running steemguild self-upvoting themselves or maybe super established authors (maybe 3 or 4 different legitimate independant ones) that get that much automatically every time the post.
Yes, there are very rare "lottery winners"... but mostly the lottery is won by the same people over and over again, and it has little to do with luck, and no you really don't have a chance at that.
Which is why, IMO, its a good thing that rewards are being directed away from them -- and to the levels of rewards that actual regular users have a chance at.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Especially coming from someone who "won the lottery" more than once.
There is no "no chance" and you know it. Even if the chance is small, it is still there, and I'm betting on it. I wouldn't be here using Steem if it weren't for that chance. I would never have started using it if I were to know beforehand someone were to take that (how ever small) chance away.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I've never "won the lottery". If youre looking at the payouts of my past posts, you have to keep in mind that these posts were made and paid out when the price of steem was much higher (and also when the blogging reward pool was larger pre HF16)
My 5 brothers post was probably as close as I got, which wasn't even on the first page of trending, and with current values/reward pool would have probably made around $50 or $60.
There are some whales who occassionally pay attention to what i post (heaven knows why.), so i might have a bit of a better chance. But most of the biggest whales who vote in concert to make those huge rewards do so either on auto-pilot or to the benefit of SG and outreach self voters.
Take away high powered self voters using whale keys, and guaranteed payout authors like krnel, ats-david and a couple others (i don't think these guys are bad, or that theres anything underhanded about it... just being realistic that they're not playing a lottery), how many do you see winning the lottery with 150-200 payouts? How many honest to goodness lottery winners are there in the lottery youre trying to play? Real question, btw. Is there a chance, maybe. But its an extreme long shot.
EDIT -- incidentally, lest i sound disgruntled, i don't post a ton, and I don't necessarily think that what I do post ought to be highly rewarded. I would not have even discussed my own payouts had they not been brought up.

So it's just the way it is? Content creators don't matter?
Come to Steemit because the system is built that way to have some high stakeholder's opinion on how much you should earn.

Sorry, but your comment is borderline trolling. Nowhere did I say that content creators don't matter. They are extremely important IMO. It is up to the stakeholders to decide on what content is valued though, and by how much.

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Well then why are people saying the system is fine the way it is? Because the current system shows content creators don't matter by a large stakeholder getting to say a content creator is earning too much so rewards rightly given to that author get's to be taken because to "distribute the reward pool how they fit." If a person decides to donate to charity, is that right for anyone to say a person is donating too much and allow to lower the donation amount?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
If a person decides to donate his own money to charity, of course not, but thats not whats happening here.
In this case, a person is deciding to use his stake in the reward pool to support allocation to a particular post. Someone else is using his stake to support allocation away from the post.
If some whale wants to donate to your post, like a charity, he can reach into his (virtual) pockets and send you the money, and no one can gainsay him. If he wants to vote to allocate rewards to you, then you (and he) have to accept the fact that others can vote to allocate those same rewards differently. Sometimes in opposition.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I don't know if you are misunderstanding how it works, or if you just don't agree with my view - but if a stakeholder reduces the rewards on a post, they are increasing the rewards for all of the other content creators on the platform. The content creators all still split the same reward pool in the end.
If your view is that this has a negative affect on the person who's post went down, then you are correct - but that is part of the platform. It is beneficial for all of the other content creators when a post gets downvoted, because then there is more money in the rewards pool for all other posts. This post is intended to clarify that, because it is how the platform works.
I would prefer not to get into arguments/discussions of how the platform should be changed. Those are great discussions to have, and I will happily engage with you in another post - but this post is for informative purposes.

As a fellow anarchist. This is not anarchism. It is better than norm, but it still imposes rules upon others. I don't know that true anarchism could work in this environment so that is not what I am proposing.
Also the anarchists that designed steem/steemit (tend to be closest to Anarcho Capitalist variety) likely follow the Non-Aggression Principle.
This does not have a way for you to cancel out the desires of another person with your own. So this is not truly anarchism. Though like I said, I don't know that true anarchism would work here. This is an attempt to get as close as possible without actually achieving it. I assure you Mad Max world is the mainstream current day interpretation of Anarchism as in chaos, violence, wild west, etc.
That was not the goal here, and isn't the goal of Anarcho Capitalists, or Anarcho Communists. We simply don't like rulers. People that can force other people to do certain things against their will.
We like leaders just fine. Those people that lead by example and we can choose to follow or not follow. :)

It is not capped, but the inflation will reduce over time. At HF 16, it was set to have an inflation rate of 9.5% APR per year. It is set to decrease by 0.01% every 250,000 blocks (Roughly 0.5% per year) until it eventually reaches 0.95% APR per year.
