I manage it. The sporadic voting basically works like this:
When your account is first enrolled, you get a pending upvote balance of with an estimated value of $0.063. On your next post, 1/3 of that is delivered as an estimated $0.021 upvote. Minimum upvote is always based on $0.021 estimate. (Since the blockchain uses other units, it's actually calibrated differently and adjusted weekly to stick to an $0.021 estimate so there's a little fluctuation here.)
After your first vote, your account accrues additional pending balance every 2.4 hours. When your pending balance exceeds $0.063 again, you get another upvote. When you have more units, you accrue pending votes more quickly (fixed amount per unit * number of units) so you get upvotes more often. At some tipping point, your pending balance estimate begins to grow larger than $0.063 (because you are accruing more than $0.021 in between posts) and then you start receiving votes every time you post. If you keep increasing your level, your vote size will continue to grow until you reach our deliverable maximum (100% upvote across all of our main voting accounts).

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me. I think I'm almost starting to understand how it works.
Hehe, I'm really learning a lot since I've been on the platform, but it's still not easy. There's a lot to understand. Although for the most part, it's okay not to understand them, it's more about understanding what you're doing and why you're doing it.
