Where Has All the Steem Gone??

What is happening to our precious STEEM?

_Source
I joined 5 months ago and at that time posts that were trending were earning about 800-1000$ and few months before that I've seen posts earning 3k+$.

Nowadays posts on trending are earning about 150-300$. This brings up my question.

Where has all the STEEM gone and why are the rewards decreasing?

What will happen when STEEM prices go higher and people's votes are worth more?

Will the reward pool get killed off and decrease the rewards even more?

Share this post around and help spread the word out by resteeming untill we get an anwser.

I'm sure that I'm not the only one that would want to know whats happening. Are the voting bots maybe causing this mess?
