I wanted to cry... How I lost my STEEM DOLLARS.
My bitter experience for $ 504.31.
Hello! This sad event occurred yesterday. Once again, I wrote an article, translated it into English and posted it here. Over time it collected about $ 540! I was really happy!
I was happy because my previous five articles in the amount did not collect even $ 10. A $ 540! - It was fantastic.
I began to re-read my successfully post and improve it. Edit some things to make it more interesting and useful to readers. The sum of several times fell below $ 500, but the evening was again $ 504.31. And I saw the following comment:
The idea is that it turns the posts can not be edited. I didn’t know that. And so I didn’t get for this post is absolutely nothing. Nothing for 6 hours of my work. None of $ 504.31:
I was broken. It hurted me. I wanted to cry. But! I don’t give up! Therefore:
Firstly, thank you for @minion that warned me! It was late, but it was useful. If you are reading these lines - write a comment. I want to know that a good man(you) sees my gratitude! THANK YOU!
Second, I learned a valuable lesson. Now I will be even better suited to the creation of articles. Now I will try 2 times more. Now I know that you can not edit posts. And I am glad that this information finds several authors. Do not repeat my mistakes! Appreciate your time and your work!
This is a valuable experience that I bought for $ 504.31. Well, life goes on.
This weekend, I woke up at 7 am to start again to create materials useful for you. After a few hours, I'll do another post, I will continue my way.
Never give up, my friends, never!
Thank you for the study of this material! Please vote for this article - so you will help me to reach the goal!
Appreciate the time, enjoy life and be happy!
I wrote those posts for you:

My goal is $ 100,000
Hi @soulbrain, I can try to explain it to you. @dantheman said "I originally upvoted your post, but after noticing the tag spam it turned into a down vote."
I'm guessing it's because you are using the #introduceyourself tag. Are you introducing yourself? No. So putting that one tag in cost you 500$ And you did it here too. Are you introducing yourself here? Nope. So you are still doing it.
I understood!!! I finally realized that you tell me !!! Please email me on Facebook, I do not speak English, but I want to fix their positions. I am doing my best. Today I worked more than 8 hours on them! https://www.facebook.com/elonsoul I want to fix it!
I'm not sure you can fix this one, because it is the first tag. And I think you can't change the first tag. But I haven't flagged it, so maybe you are fine? You fixed the other two I asked you about, so you are good in my book.
I have corrected. I really want to understand this. I'm here all week. I put the soul in each text. Today is Saturday. All the rest. But I want to write. Important for me is to live. I can not explain, but it's very important. Please, tell me what else fix to @dantheman and other people did not think that I'm doing a bad content? I really want to be useful. Please, help!
The only advice I can give you right now is just to carefully choose your tags. Make sure they make sense and fit what your post is about.
Thank you, how can I contact @dantheman? I do not want to be blacklisted. I need to fix it!

i have checked your previous post and notice dantheman originally upvote you to give you the $500 then afterward he downvote you to remove all the money because he say you tag spam
Do you know why I 've marked as spam ? I only write original texts and publish them only here.
not sure maybe you can reply to him on your previous post and ask
UP VOTE!! sorry for your los.,,,
i edited some typo mistakes after my post had 200$ and the payout was still 198$.
so is it really true that editing the post is not allowed?
No. Editing the post was not the reason for the $500 to $0 change. A whale apparently changed his upvote to a downvote.
But why did he do it ? How to find him and ask this?
@dantheman downvoted you

Thank you!
Here's https://steemd.com/@soulbrain more information.
When I can see that? What is it?
thank you for this i have missed this and have updated a couple of times. will know for the future.
hmmmm
I thought this was cleared up and it was confirmed that editing a post does not in fact count as creating a new post????
Yes. Editing a post does nothing as far as I know.
Yeah a lot of people must've missed that.. hope they fix it soon as I don't think editing posts should trigger the diminishing returns.
GL making some back of it.
To me, it kinda makes sense.. Not gonna lie.
Example..
Someone posts something of a certain topic (travel) then edits it to something later (art).
So now, those people who liked the post because it was travel, are now putting their weight of power into a post about art, which they did not intend to.
Obviously, this isn't always the case, but maybe the ratio and percentage of earnings affected could be scaled. Say.. If you change 1% of your post, your payout goes down by 2-4% or so.. 2% reduces payout by 4-8% and so on.. Then there could be a cap of like 40% to where if 40% of the post is changed, it resets payouts altogether.
That way, people won't be putting their upvote into something that isn't what they initially intended to upvote.
Just my two-cents. Hope it gave a different perspective.
I understand your position , but I do not know much anliysky . For translations using the online translator . Sometimes it is incorrect. Every day I learn a little grammar . And if I see errors in the texts - I correct them. Sometimes they are very small . For example : do not = don't; you know? = Do you know?. I'm working on quality to people who know English have been more comfortable to read. And sometimes these changes can be a small number of + I put links to previous posts and subsequent parts . But apparently, this is not is welcomed .
Thank you for sharing. I didn't know that.
Aww, I'm so sorry this happened to you!!
I had no idea either.. so I'm glad I know now!
I will just have to make sure my posts are quality checked more times before posting. lol
Hope things turn around for you and if you already had something become that successful, I have no doubts you'll be able to find that success again! Wishing you the best! :)
Thanks for the support!
If you write for money... delete the old post( by editing it out ) and repost it as new. Maybe improve upon it. Just wait until you don't have 4 posts in the last 24h counting.
I will write more . My goal - not just money . I want to work benefited the readers . Thank you!
