So I posted a LIVE video debate which was happening on YouTube and posted the video so people could participate in the Youtube chat.  The Post got a lot of attention and to my surprise when I woke up this morning it was on the front page and worth over 3,000$.

Funny thing is the blog posts are supped to payout after 12hrs and mine post had been posted over 18hrs prior with no payout.   How did my post go from being valued at over 3K USD to 3 dollars?

I understand this is not my video but I posted it LIVE as it happened to give everyone on STEEMIT the chance to participate which everyone did.  NO ONE ELSE HAD POSTED THIS VIDEO FOR OVER 2HRS when the LIVE CHAT aspect was over.

After 1hr my post was worth over 2K USD.  Which demonstrates people took notice and tuned in to the LIVE debate.  Why was this value then removed from my post?  I don't see how everyone in the Steemit community found this link valuable then and no longer now...

The video was eventually posted by the original creator @blakemiles84 and earned well over 7 thousand USD.  So I do not feel I took any value from the original creators.  In fact my post most likely increased the popularity of @blakemiles84 post below.

I must say this platform is very misleading when it values posts at very high values only to evaporate the value before the payout occurs.  On top of the fact that 3$ the payout is still pending over 20hrs after the post.

The Steem HARD FORK was supposed to reduce the time of blog payouts to 12hrs.  Unless the fork was a complete failure there seems to be a unreasonable amount of manipulation of post value, voting and honesty.

Unfortunately at this point it looks like Tone Vays was correct.
