I have been busy improving the quality of my articles and also spend a lot of time curating. If there are only 5 votes per day I think that it hinders me as an emerging writer and as an emerging curator.
I like to pick out good articles that have few votes and little in the way of financial rewards and encourage and mentor them. If this is not done they just get discouraged and leave. I will be able to do very little of that with 5 votes!
I also like to "tip" good comments on my posts to help build loyalty and relationships. How much of that can I do with 5 votes?
You are and have been building something great here but the 5 votes is a bad idea.
