LESSON LEARNED - UPDATED INFORMATION - EDITS DO NOT COUNT AS NEW POSTS

This is extremely counter-intuitive and there are also some issues with photo uploading that may necessitate some edits and re-edits... it should be fixed IMO and exclude edits.

Wanna know what's funny? I have another point to add to my post...
...but I'm afraid to edit it. So I've decided I'm on board with everyone else that this isn't cool.

That point is that posts get "bumped" to the top of the Active pages when they get edited, which could be a vulnerability that spammers would exploit. They also get bumped when a comment is posted. So to fix this issue, they could simply remove "edit bumps".

I gonna freaking cry!

I'll be rob like crazy for my last post. Oh my god this is hard to take. I don't know why it wasn't mentioned in the release. I feel like this should have been mentioned even though it was obvious. Damn.

Agreed! This should have been mentioned ! Although this is nothing to be upset about guys!
How much would you have made posting these blogs on Facebook or Reddit? You're not losing money, you're just getting less free money!

Check it out, he posted this 40 minutes ago.

@dantheman has said that if this problem is indeed caused by edits, it's a bug.
Sounds as if this is not how they wanted to system to behave when it comes to edits.
Hang tight for further information.

Exactly. Edits should not count as posts, and edits should not bump activity :(

The good news is they don't count as posts. But they DO bump activity. I'll leave the latter up for discussion, but please accept my apologies for alarming you for the former.

I got the same problem, i asked why to the community and they only told me that curation rewards took the rest out of it. But i don't believe it for a second. I believe that the money is just gone. My post was at 190 just seconds before payout, then when payout came, i got 100.

If the post showed 190 at the time of payout and you received 100, that means you received 100/190 = 52.63% of the total rewards for the post. Remember that the payout numbers are the TOTAL amounts to the author and to content curators (upvoters).

That's not what happened. The post was at 1250 at the very second the payout occurred, then dropped by 85% down to 190. I DID get the proper payout had the value actually BEEN 190, but that's not what it was.

Oh geez. I'm sorry. You were talking to @najoh
Sorry, @complexring

Yup. I knew you were talking about. But what @najoh was saying needed to be clarified as to the difference between the author rewards and content curator payouts and how they are both lumped together as one sum on a post.

I think I edited one post six times because the photo insertion button through me off. So much for getting anything for that post!

Hang tight on that. Based on what I'm seeing from one of the whales, my post here could be incorrect.
I kind of hope that it is, too, because just like everyone else here, I need to be able to edit.

I think you are incorrect also. You still got my vote but I feel like removing it. I just can't confirm either way.

I didn't saw @dan had commented. I'm pretty sure you're wrong. I don't know why but post always seem to get a drop from the moment they are pay from just before being paid. Maybe it's the price feed being re-adjusted.

Anyway, if true you totally merit this reward if not well I feel like you shouldn't be rewarded.

I kind of publicize this post a lot. I voted on it when it was worth only a couple dollars and I thought it should be seen by everyone if true. Will see. You might as well merit the reward anyway as even the dev doesn't seem to be sure right now.

I'm going to refrain from posting any other blog posts today, as well as from editing this post to see if my theory has any weight when this goes to pay out. I'll report back in 9 hours.

Yes, I've noticed the same thing with the way they upload pictures, especially recently. I always have to edit, go in and change the html link to the direct link because they seem to change it to include a // before the link. I haven't noticed nor had this problem until very recently however. It used to work just fine linking to photos.
