The rewards are paid out in Steem and SBD regardless of the value. I'm still earning about 1 sbd or so per post, but they just are not worth as much right now, so the value seems lower. I'm still earning the same amount of SBD as I would if the price was much higher. I hope that helps. It's like being paid an ounce of silver an hour for a job regardless of the price of silver. If the price of silver goes up, then all the silver I have accumulated will go up and I'll still get paid an ounce per hour, it is just worth more. Have a great day and you got a new follower.
