Condensers like busy.org and ulogs.org has a setting to enable a slider even if you don't have one yet since less than 500 SP.
The Esteem app also does that.
Although to be honest it makes sense to only have the slider at 500 SP especially with the bear market where value of the upVote is so less. Mine is at 50% of what it used to be. My 10% upVote now is just 0.01cents when before it would be at least 0.03 cents.
yes votes are worth a lot less at the moment and people do need to consider when they have low steem power, do they upvote as much as possible adding no rewards, or do they just upvote their favorite content giving a reward.
It seems people do that because on two posts where I talked about the dust threshold and the dustsweeper initiative people said that it is fine with them if their upvote on a comment is lost as dust because it is the thought that counts in rewarding comments on post.
I'd rather be pragmatic and if I have low SP I would go to a post of the person that left a great comment and upvote a post that I like and leave an equally good comment. Who knows I miight even get a follower if we build enough rapport.
I am very careful with my voting power and try to be above 70% so that my vote would have value. My way of thinking is not because I am selfish with my votes but rather I want to reward good content.
I usually have Steemnow or Steemdb up so sometimes I see people that have 15 SP and upvoting me with 15% voting weight, so they won't be getting any curation rewards. They also have a habit of running their Voting power ragged with it being in the 20-30% which I was also guilty when I was starting.
When I do give them advice about voting weight and power some take it, some dont.
