I noticed something frustrating, yet interesting in real-time today. I had a post with awesome photos with only 8 votes netting $3.03. That's OK maybe some more votes will come in. I had my blog pulled up on my phone and my wife standing right beside me just had the chance to read my post. I watched her click up-vote on my post and I refreshed my screen and the total votes went to 9 but the payout went DOWN. This is not the first time I've noticed this. This was more of a real-time test. What kind of messed up algorithm is being run. I know she doesn't have much steem power, but is the system programmed to reduce payouts if newer members upvote? That is a terrible equation and harms the community and disregards new users' opinions and harms posters. It's already bad enough that newer users' votes sometimes don't amount to $0.01, but negative really!? Overnight I have seen 83 votes valued at $150.xx and next day finish at 153 votes at $119.xx. There is something discouraging going on with these calculations that don't make cents ;) (ha sense) Does this have to do with if then volume limits depending on if a higher powered steemer clicks then funds are taken away to go to them?

User's voting power decreases as they upvote more and more posts during a short period of time, your payout decrease may have been influenced by this. You can view voting power at steemd.com/@username

There are about 56,00 new tokens release each day. The more votes there are as a whole, the less each vote is worth. Also the value of steam has went down over the past couple of days so the overall value of each steem token is lower.
