This is VERY INTERESTING how post $ values changed for 10 popular users. LOOK at the results!
Approximately 16 hours before the hard fork took effect, I went and took a BEFORE snapshot of some older posts. I chose posts that were about 2 to 5 days old that wouldn't yield many additional votes. Then after the hardfork 19 took effect, I took an AFTER snapshot of the same posts.
These are my own TOP 10 RESULTS that I chose to showcase the differences in potential payouts after Hardfork 19 took effect.
Let's take a look at the changes:

My math is approximate... Please double check figures yourself. I rounded off a lot... this is more for discussion sake than it is for accuracy. If the math is off, please feel free to let me know in the comments and I'll adjust it accordingly.
OVERALL I LIKE HARDFORK 19
.
It gives me this "feeling" that we had a tapeworm somewhere in the blockchain that was siphoning off rewards before HardFork 19 showed up. I have no idea what consensus everyone else has for the fork, but my initial reaction is.....
.
I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH HF19!!
What are your conclusions? Does it look right? Does it affect you negatively or positively? Let's hear your comments!!
Thanks for sharing this info intelliguy, looks pretty good :)
I myself only have a few posts yet, since I am a newbie here.
Only had a few 0,02-1,21 posts so I am not sure if something changed there, but sounds great :)
Kinda feel a bit sad for the wurm that will starve now, you know all wurm lifes matter aswell wink

Everyone is happy with HF19 because everyone is paid! For whales its tough times but then again they had a whole year to prepare for winter. Hope i make a fortune during this times!

I have a feeling that generally the whales will come out just fine as well. From what I had seen, I estimated a drop of 10-15% on some of the highest "whale"-type payout posts. But from some of the examples @intelliguy posted, it appears it may be even less then that (on average, of course). I think @kingscrown's post is probably on the opposite extreme (and almost an anomaly) with its 35% decrease in payout. Of course, we'll know better as more examples trickle in.

Hey @intelliguy I'm glad to see your happy about the changes with the hardfork. I definitely am happy and it seems most smaller fish are too. I was worried reading posts about HF19 leading up to the release as it seemed like it still wouldn't benefit the newcomers much. Sure doesn't seem that way, I think this will definitely help grow the community and gain new interest. Positive for me!

I am very excited as well, @intelliguy ,with my current voter reward. I have even written a blog post to that effect , https://steemit.com/steemit/@maryfavour/i-m-excited-that-my-voting-reward-has-increased-after-hardfork-19-now-i-can-give-fish-to-a-steemian-and-teach-him-how-to-fish . Before hf 19, my full power vote was worth about $0.16 , now it's worth about $5 , which is a wooping 300% and more increase. I think this hf 19 is clearly done to benefit the minnows and dolphins from your analysis, which I like very much. Thank you for sharing. Upvoted and resteemed your wonderful post.

That is an amazing gain. I think increases like yours will lead to posters producing better content to get followers instead of encouraging posters to just court a whale in hopes of getting one powerful votes.

One immediate change I noticed was that the rewards given when I vote, dramatically increased. Prior to the HF I would vote at 100% and the reward MIGHT be $.01. Today the first thing I voted on got a whopping $.14.

I hate to say this, but HF19 permits and possibly encourages a whole new breed of tapeworm: the self-voter. The huge numbers you're seeing right now are an illusion that will almost certainly vanish in the next week as people learn ways to automatically siphon the rewards to themselves.

Has to do with gaining a good following bc of your consistent articles and worthy comments that draws attention on what you help out in the community instead of relying on whales. Think that what HF19 showing.

I'm loving the hardfork as well. I had a post that was worth something like $20 yesterday (which is a big payout for me). Now it's $60!
And when I voted for this post I added over $10 to the pool!
Awesome!!
I'm gonna go and find more stuff to vote on!

Really amazing!, i also got 500% increase on almost every post!... And seems like almost everyone is getting benefits, not just minnows... And even those whose increase dropped, it was not that much hurt, they still doing pretty good... Looks like it is a win-win for everyone!

I am also happy. As a minnow, I have a big increase. At least I can see that I am moving something if I click.
Hope this will stay over time. The limited votes are something I have to get used to. Normally I like to spread votes, but now I have to be careful.

I think the change will be very healthy for Steemit. Greater clout for new users should encourage posters to create great content and comments in order to build followers, not just kiss up to whales in hopes of getting one big up-vote. Increased vote power should also increase retention and activity of new users. It will be fun to watch what happens. That is my $.03 worth.

It seems really great from what I've experienced...
My new post today did a quantum leap from what it would
been before HF19 so that's awesome!
And it was nice to vote and actually contribute a bit to others.
Time for this minnow to buy some steem and see what happens
to the numbers as I keep trying my best to create good content.
I'm happy the math seems to be working out for everyone!!
Thanks for catching the examples above, HF19 looks like a winner!
