Average Block Time decreased by 5 sec from 20 down to 15 sec. This is quite much and with low diffi, i get the same amount of eth like before the fork.

25% block time reduction vs 33% reward reduction Huh

LOL and lower diffi -35% ?
Ok you ignore it XD

25% block reduction + 35% lower diffi versus 33% reward reduction, this is what you must compare. 


you're missing my point

You are looking at simply earnings

I see a smaller pie, regardless if you are getting the same sized piece of pie.

Well most people think the lower inflation rate will raise the price of ethereum very quickly and will give more profit to everyone.  Whether or not the difficult will jump at the same rate as the price rises giving the same profitability remains to be seen.
