So most of you know that 2ish weeks ago, @adetorrent delegated most of his SP to me as a fun little experiment.
We talked about it here: https://steemit.com/dtube/@redrica/7dt5de9r
I had a ton of fun draining my VP, and upvoting a wide range of content creators.
I visited and supported #introduceyourself regularly, checked out and supported users featured in the #tenkminnows and lots of others I came across who had low pay outs on their quality posts.
It felt so good to be able to give a decent upvote.
But of course, it was only meant to be temporary, for the sake of doing an experiment.
I will try to make a video soon to go through my thoughts and experience of this 50k SP delegation experiment more extensively.
Thanks @adetorrent for being such a good sport and indulging me in this little experiment ;)
When he undelegated to me 2 days ago, the SP was gone as unexpectedly as it came.
I love that actually. It really added to the whole experience.
But the shock was how my VP also
went to 0%.
Yup, you heard that right.
So you can imagine my shock when I saw that my upvote was suddenly $0.001, after being $1.444 (at 100%) for 2 weeks+
I had nooo clue it would drain my SP to 0% when a delegation is taken away. Maybe @adetorrent did warn me, but I just never listened :P
So I am currently at 49% VP, and have been refraining from upvoting anything until I am back to a decent percentage.
So like I said, I'm not being rude by commenting and/or resteeming your post without even upvoting it.
I plan to come back to upvote you when I am back to a decent Voting Power.
Now back to "normal"...

I guess I know how you feel. Around September last year, I leased 3000sp for about three or four months... I am so happy with the boost of my SP... Upvote worth is so much higher... And I can upvote more posts... The feeling is super awesome... And when I stopped the leasing, immediately I have the similar reaction as yours... I think my VP dropped dramatically... But not to the extent of zero. I had to stop upvoting too. You are so much more discipline. I have to stop myself from visiting people's posts or else I would have clicked the thumbs up! And then I would feel so bad because the worth was so so so tiny... 😂
But overall it's a good experience of having a big boost in the SP and feel it. Kinda like motivated me to "swim harder"! 😉😎💪❤️

:’) I’ll love seeing your 0.001 upvotes on my posts again... Well, IF you ever get your VP back of course :D

And I spoil you with all those 0.001 upvotes, other people need them so much more :P

Need to lister and follow the guide of experience person. Lol.

Easy come easy go I guess.
Has it motivated you to buy more steem?
I DID NOT know that about the removal of delegations, that doesn't sound right to me!
Yes it has definitely motivated me to get more steem (any way I can)
And yes, it really doesn't sound right does it?! I still don't get it tbh, and I'm wondering if that's what happens to any amount of SP undelegated. Can you imagine your VP going to 0% because 50 SP was undelegated from you?
It has to be a flaw!

It’s been interesting to observe, but now it’s gone I look forward to the rundown of how it made you feel and perhaps changed your outlook and behaviour.

Yup I look forward to making that video and going through it all!
Maybe you were still voting without realising the delegation had been removed. That could explain the drop in VP. Glad you enjoyed the expereince. 😊
I mainly use Partiko to upvote, so when I click upvote, a screen pops out with what my VP is and how much my upvote will be. So I definitely didn't vote without realizing the delegation was gone. Plus, I never upvoted that much that my VP has ever gone to 0%.
But if I knew my delegation was going to be taken away, and my VP would be going to 0% anyway, I would have definitely gone on an upvote frenzy and let it go to 0%.
Good point! 😁
That's weird though. I never heard about VP going to 0 after a delegation was removed before.
You will have even more VP sooner than you think! That is cool that the experiment was so cool on so many levels ❤️

LOL, it doesn't matter, we will forgive you ;)
Hahah I appreciate it ;)

I was so glad I could!!
