I have noticed the last few weeks that my Stipend has gone down by about 300L's a week. I am not sure why, on average i got about 900Ls for my tier..... but now i am down to only 500ls..

this makes me sad :(

I am not sure what to do to raise it besides rate people...

That is because LL have deleted the ratings bonus in an attempt to improve the L$-US$ price.
The idea is that you are now supposed to buy L$ from content creators who sell via Lindex, to have enough money to buy items from content creators. Alternatively save your Ls until you have enough for what you want to buy.

Now there is no more bonus of any kind. Permium accounts get $500L and basic accounts get $50L.

Anything more than that was bonus.

The good news is you can buy $500L more per week for only $2us dollars

Don't waste your money rating people with the hope of getting more on your stipend. The bonus is gone forever.

Anyone shopping less than before ratings stipends were cut? I'm thinking a lot more before I buy--prob. a good thing, but my friends and favorite content creators aren't getting my business as much as they did. Is this happening for others?

If one spends less because $2us(about 30 cents a day) dollars for an extra $500L a week is too much, I'd say cut back on spending. I think people forget how cheap $L really is.

My guess is people will buy more stuff since it's so much easier to buy a few hundred $L than before. Time will tell.

The vendors are doing better now with less welfare money on the market because the value of $L is increasing.
