Fifteen minutes before HF19, I was at over a 90% vote weight. 30 votes were available to me before I crossed the 40 vote threshold.
Not knowing how HF19 would pan out, I gamed the voting system in the last 15 minutes before HF19 kicked in.
I used up all my remaining votes & voted for every comment on all my posts including the good post , follow me, I'll follow you ones.
SteemStats.com tracked me at about 70% voting power with all 40 votes used up, once I was done.
The please upvote me; please follow me comments, irritated me the most. Most of these comments, are from newbies feeling their way around Steemit.
Then I remembered,
About eight months ago, I too was one of them.
Hard Fork | Hard Heart
After HF19 went live, I was pleasantly surprised that my 3 cent vote to some minnows had become 16 cent votes. Not much; but, 16 is better than 4, though.
Does feel good to add some extra value to newbies.
Steemit HF19.
So far.
So good.

16 cents is waaay bigger than 0.04 😊 I see you are on 21.co and medium. Do you blog there as well?post the same posts?
21.co is monetizing e-mail,
Yes, I blog both through Medium & Blogger.
Tumblr can give your Steemit post an extra leg.
internet presence, not blogging. @luvabi
There are lazy creatives & lazy writers.
No, I don't cut & paste post the same posts on multiple platforms anymore. In the end, that is taking a painstakingly built up audience and/or following for granted. Each post would be customized for the target audience of the particular platform. I do cross refer to the origin of the post.
So, post first on Steemit. Test market on Steemit. Get feedback & then the best content from Steemit on Medium.
16 cents feels like so much more on steemit

I lost a lot of voters. It seems autobotes changed drastically. All overall I need more time once again to get used to those changes.
Or is this the end of the autobots? @mammasitta
Maybe or maybe not :) fine for me

You're welcome.
HF19 really shook things up, especially for the minnows who now feel they can vote and earn more effectively. I'm curious what long term effects it will have on the platform and the price of Steem and Steem Dollars, but for now it seems great :)
Following you.
Is everyone swimming together in the same pool?
Yes, @cryptodan.
Your image of the three arrows and two feet? It seems to be a non-free image from Shutterstock.
https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/pair-feet-standing-on-tarmac-road-131772284?irgwc=1&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=TinEye&utm_source=77643
Did you license this photo?
The photo has not been licensed by me. It has been removed. Does the meet your requirement?
Is this a pro bono service? @uriamme
The top image of the branching roads is apparently derived from a stock image, like this one on Shutterstock.
See:
https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/road-junction-illustration-crossroads-highway-intersection-468323276
Did you obtain a license for using that image?
That derived image shared is across Steemit.
I did not create the image.
Are you requesting each one of them to individually take permission from Shutterstock?
The images that you question have been removed.
Is this satisfactory?
Yes, the images from Shutterstock should either be removed or a license obtained. This is better for the Steem Platform, and in effect, you and I.
And also for your stock image service?
It doesn't affect the new stock image Concept at all. You seem to prefer free images, which may or may not be available . It's possible that public domain images could cost a nominal fee if hosted on the site. Of course there are free options if you use the Steemit Inc. Image hosting and you use their faucet, find the image on your own, etc.
In other words it Might be convenient to acquire images from my stock image website, but a lot of people will, like you, go through the time and Trouble of manually inserting free images and keep all of the profit.
Others might see more value in professional stock photography. But using the correctly licensed images is good for us regardless of its effect on a business venture.
FUD & guerrilla marketing
I promote businesses, too. However, I do not guerrilla market the concept by first projecting myself as the custodian of clean Images & scare tactics. Say's Law. Creating demand via FUD that would be supplied by me.
Our conversation began with your inquisitorial question on whether I had permission to use images that you identified. Taking this line of marketing, I would ethically probe in this manner:
Do you have permission for this image or whatever question deemed appropriate with
I offer an image sharing, stock photo sharing service......
or something on those lines.
All things work together for good though. Thanks your input I generated this image.
Presumption & innuendo
Yes. I do. Free is not immoral. Stealing is.
Is this a pro bono service? @uriamme
