I forgot to add.
I've been trying to get back to full 100% voting power. I never knew about the voting power until I stumbled upon SteemStats. I just didn't understand what people were talking about. Then I learned about the 10 votes per day that get 100% power. So, right now, I am trying to limit myself to 10 votes. I usually give them to good articles or even to some minnow pals that have been interactive in their posts. It depends.
Maybe when I have more power to vote, I will vote more with my power.
A topic where im not informed really well. Isnt 10x 100% upvote the same as 40x 25% upvotes? Do you really get more out of it by being at 100% then lets say staying at 25%
No, you get 10 votes at 100%.
But, then the power of your vote is determined by your voting power.
I don't know....that's why I am trying to get to 100% Voting Power. LOL ;)
right now at the level you and i are at there's no point in trying to reserve your power. you'll be much better served yourself as well as be doing a better service to the community if you just throw votes around to all the content you find desrving. it will keep minnows and new users engaged and motivated and also you'll get some reciprical support as well. thats worth a lot more than saving your power and having an extra nickel to vote with.
Well, I'm just trying to figure out what the difference is.
Right now I can give $0.07 per upvote, but I also paid into getting that little extra oompf for the week. We'll see what I can do next week. But, it does make a difference. During HF19, I was upvoting like crazy and it didn't amount to $0.01.
Yeah I bought myself from 250 to 500.
