Thanks, for this edu-taining piece, @kevinwong. I'm new, here, and curious - what is "auto-voting" and how can one "lower their voting weight"? (I just noticed, moments ago, that I upvoted a post that was at around $22 and it doubled in value!) Forgive me, if these are elementary questions. Cheers, Yahia
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
There are others with higher SP that voted around the same time as you did, so that likely explains why it doubled in value :)
When you have around 485 SP (Steem Power), you'll get a voting slider to adjust the strength of your vote. If you've below 485, that means you're currently voting at 100% voting strength everytime you do (which cuts about 4% of your total power). You can check your voting power at https://steemd.com/@yahialababidi . Think of voting power as something like mana points, and it replenishes by 20% everyday.
But don't fuss about it , just use the platform after some time and you'll get it :)
Edit: this is how a voting slider looks like.
As for auto-voting, there are services where u can set to auto-vote your favourite authors to support them whenever they publish a post.
Thanks, for taking the time to walk me through that (& dissuading me of the illusion that I had voting superpowers 🤓)
Looking forward to more of your posts 🙏🏼
