Why does my upvote results in a decreased earning of the post I upvote?

Asked by wakeupkitty Promote - View in Hive.blog - Audit

I try to get a bit more scheduled if it comes to posting, replying and reading. I have two accounts to take care of and still do not know how everything works. A friend told me I can press the stop button on Hive and it won't stop my powerdown at Steemit. I didn't know that and hope she is right. I took my chance with one account. To be honest I do not understand why Hive keeps powering down if I do so on Steemit but this is not what my question is about.

As I read and voted today I noticed the total earnings of the post decreased instead of increased. It's not the first time I notice this on Hive and it makes me feel uncomfortable. It means my upvote takes away a part of the earnings the writer already had and I do not understand what causes it.

Do you know why my upvote results in a decreased earning? I saw this happen with both accounts. I believe I used Peakd.comcom
