This seemed counterintuitive to me until I read till the end. Thank you for the much needed advice. Lately, I have seen my voting power go unconsumed and I felt bad because I could have rewarded some deserving authors. Now though, there's no stopping me. I will upvote every post that deserves my vote.
And @timcliff is doing a great job indeed and should be supported with witness votes. You have my vote already. I would request fellow Steemians to vote for you as well.
Thanks!
