New function roll out at SteemIt (Declined Payout). One of those is the payout choice, either full in Steem Power, 50 - 50 or decline. For this one I'll use the last one.
This will keep this post out off the reward division pool. In effect leaving whatever it could have made to others. And there are more new features. Like account verification.
It only arranges that your potential payout will stay at zero. It is just that. Sometimes members chose to do so. The potential payout then will stay in the reward pool. For others to gain potential payout from.
it's the special power of being a good person...just like Superman.
Decline payout means the potential reward stays in the pool.
The replies get payout like normal.
