[SOLVED] The Fuck Is Happening With Our Post Payouts? Posts Losing up to 25% Value At The Time Of Payout!
Recently I noticed the strange trend of my and other users post losing a significant amount of $ value at the time of payout. I was  totally perplexed by the fact because I could not explain it, nor could I find a reasonable explanation to why this was happening. For this reason, I'm writing this up in hopes that someone reading this might be able to shed some light on this strange occurrence.

That's a 25% unexplained decrease in payout!

What's even more strange about this is that some users lose more while others lose less and I can't figure out why that is. I thought it might be because I used busy.org to publish my post but I found out that busy doesn't take beneficiary rewards. Or at least that's what the post claims. Maybe they recently changed it, I can't say for sure.

In this example, 14% misteriously vanished.

Here, we see that "only" 8% was lost due to an unknown leecher.

Lastly, @blocktrades lost only 3% here. 

NOTE HOW: All of the post paid out at around the same time but lost different amounts.

Myself, users who read this article and everyone who caught up to this, would like to know WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON WITH OUR PAYOTUS?  I'm well aware of the fact that post value fluctuates depending on the price of STEEM which influences our upvotes, but before the that was value lost/gained changed throughout the week, not at the time of payout. Nowadays, post value is static throughout the week (if no further upvotes or downvotes come along) and then it suddenly drops right at the time of payout.

Does this have to do something with the SBD burning craze, or has there just been a change in how/when the final upvote values are calculated?

Why do some lose more than others?
 

Additionally, I would like to kindly ask everyone who is interested in seeing the mystery of vanishing payouts resolved, to   re-steem this article and post a comment in which you  tag  people you think might be able to resolve it.

BONUS QUESTIONS: Why is a portion of our payouts burned? Why does the % burned fluctuate and what does it depend upon?
