I've noticed an inconsistency in reward totals for my posts. I know this is supposed to be due to the amount a steem power a certain voter has when they upvote your content.
However, I still get a bit perplexed when a piece such as this has 244 upvotes and a current payout of only $3.83, while a post like this can have 5 upvotes and already have a payout total of $2.96.
What made that second post so much more highly valued than the first? No huge whale upvoted it, and yet it's already surging higher than my post with 244 votes ever did. I have to admit, I'm confused.
