Dear my friend, i do not know why but when i was free to comment and with liquid saving, i got an average level between setting bounties and earning from post and comments. My average bounty set was 4 or 5 steem or sbd, so these posts was often in the steem-bounty page as biggest bounties and so my earnings was more, than to be free to comments as bounty hunter it was good too.
You know when you see on the notification in busy.org around 20 comments and full of activities, you are getting more actract than going to beg votes in the trending page...
So this is the worst change on the Steemit in my opinion, i got 100SP but i am no more happy to have not a lot friends to reply....:(((
