As more posts, comments are made the blockchain rewards will continue to delute for up to 3.5 days, then you're locked in. As they spread out those rewards to all those new comments and posts yours will decrease. I understand it but it's still new to me and a little hard to explain. Hopefully that helps

Ah i think im picking up what you're putting down, :) thank you !
