The change is pretty radical lol, I don't blame you for shutting it down for the time being. I turned off all my auto voting as well, simply because I need to wrap my head around what's changed.
I just 50% upvoted your post and it jumped $20+, which is 40x what it used to be.
I guess that the feeling whales had since the beginning. But now it's the orcas and dolphins that feel it.
totally reasonable for folks to tune their auto-voting due to such changes. i'm glad we have an honest, open environment to discuss this kind of thing. makes it much easier for new users to get clued in and use the platforms. i noticed the changes right away this morning reflected on some past posts. then i saw that my upvote was actually increasing other's earnings and that is a great feeling!
