You should crunch the delegation numbers.
When the delegation leasing scams began to vote sp that had not been being voted previously the rewards dropped, both curation and posting rewards.

When a whale votes, everbody else's vote loses power.

Each day's vote pool is only so large, when an account with a large amount of sp votes it takes it's percentage of the pool from all the other voters.

For instance, numbers made up, lets say that 100,000 sp have been voted by 100 accounts in total, then an account with 100,000 sp votes, those original votes have been diluted by 50%.

I don't have the skills to obtain the actual numbers, but you do.

This is not the only instance of how the platform is designed to reward the top at the expense of the bottom.
Some of those rules made sense in that they retained control of the platform by the founders, but once the place became public those rules began to hamper mass adoption because unless you brown nose tptb you got nothing coming, imo.

Both put out good numbers, but the only rewards the stats monkey gets are from me.
He is lucky that the whales have moved on, time was when he would have gotten voted off the platform, you too.
