Followfriday

I really love this idea. I’ve been spreading around the idea a little bit and I hope to get more engaged with it over time. I really needed create one sooner so more people have time to react and give it a try. That is always high sight though. Perhaps next week I’ll make the time to get on things sooner.

Voting

I’ve always run my voting power ragged. The lower it goes often times the smaller my votes get and stay till it has some time to recover. I’ve noticed too many people aim for 80% and while that is great they often are sitting at 100% for hours or even days.

I hold the same viewpoint as it comes to curation rewards. It’s not something I think about. People often tell me I’m doing it wrong and I’ll be missing out on a lot of rewards. I’ll look at their reward and maybe they are double mine when equally compared in SP.

Before 500 SP

I voted for anything and if I was at 40% voting power it made little difference to me. I voted for both comments and blogs galore. I treated it like tossing around confetti and it was fun.

After 500 SP

It is somewhat hard to describe as it is a bit all over the place. Sometimes by necessity as my voting power runs under 50% and other times I just needed to change things up and see how it works out.

Comments I tend to go 10-30% depending on how good of a comment it was and how my voting power is doing. Once a blog is over 2 days old I usually don’t reward comments anymore as I’ve moved into other things.

Blogs I’ll go anywhere from 10-100% with a few factions in mind: my current voting power, how old is the post, how good was the post, how many more votes could I be making, how high are the rewards already? Too many people won’t touch let along comment on blogs over 30 minutes old.

There are a couple of people I support that I’ll do my best to give them bigger upvote then I was at the time. Many times someone will be new or they started doing something truly amazing but not many people have seen it yet. Often times I’ll spend a couple hours in private chat with them in discord and I just won't do what I can for them. Often times they don’t produce daily content so I much rather give that a higher vote.

For me, the community is a big thing. I spent a lot of time reading and engaging with the community and certain tags. Sadly my voting tends to go more towards the smaller scale just because of voting volume. The main community I’m in I try and hit fifty to hundred members maybe in a week. I tend to prioritize my voting towards those creating amazing content and are undervalued. Most of the time their most recent blog is a couple of days old so I don’t give them a big upvote.
