Actually, I'd forgotten that rewards are only 75% of the inflation, 15% is paid out as interest on holding Steem Power, and 10% goes to the Witnesses running nodes and producing blocks to keep the chain running. This system was very different from the original economics of Steem and was adopted in an earlier hardfork. Here's a link to the notes on that fork from last December. [Link](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/final-review-of-steem-economic-changes) Today's fork should not have fundamentally changed these amounts. What it did was change how influence was calculated. In the past, the power of your vote was equivalent to your Steem Power squared. So if you had 1 SP and someone else had 1,000, their vote would not be 1,000 times more powerful, it would be 1,000,000 times more powerful! This is what had the early miners and adopters (whales) wielding a very outsize effect on the platform. Now influence is calculated linearly. Think of it as 1 SP = 1 vote. So having 1,000x more SP means 1,000 times more voting power, not 1 million! Everyone but whales is seeing their voting influence increased because the whales voting influence is decreasing by a corresponding amount. Thus the nickname "Equality" for this hardfork.

Thanks for the detailed responses, I've just had the chance to read them in full this morning! There's about 25 accounts which have around 1,000,000 in Steem Power. Now I am getting around $0.10 per upvote with 100 Steem Power and before was probably getting around $0.01. So by my rough maths, now these 25 accounts have 10,000 x my $0.10 = $1,000 per upvote. If all 25 of these accounts upvoted 5 times in a day, wouldn't that use up all the steem? Or would the upvote reward be reduced accordingly? I think my estimate of $0.01 per upvote before the fork must be wrong, since by that they would have (10,000 ^ 2) x $0.01 = $1,000,000 per upvote?

You're welcome, and you're correct in thinking the upvote reward would be reduced accordingly in the instance you described. Your voting power will always fluctuate in response to what others are doing, it doesn't really define a set dollar or Steem reward. Rather it is your influence in voting where the reward pool is distributed. Since the reward pool is fixed and finite, we're only steering the rewards, not creating them. In your example the whales would definitely see the dollars their votes were giving decreasing as more votes were cast by other whales. Imagining an extreme scenario to the other side... if by some strange circumstance nobody on Steemit voted on a given day except for you... your vote would direct $100k plus of rewards simply because everyone else essentially abstained! One real world scenario that people often can see but not understand is how their post may actually decrease in payout value as it approaches the full week, even with the price of Steem stable. This can happen because most of the time the votes we receive come in early on in the week and then die off. If later in the week a bunch of whales get more active, some big news happens that results in a few posts raking in major payouts, etc. your payout can decrease as the active voting shifts some of the reward pool another way. It's a never ending tug of war contest and the rope can move back and forth all the time!
