Thanks for the smack upside the head...this minnow needed it.
I'm going to test a theory, though, with this post. I turned off ALL the Steemvoter rules I had set up, and I haven't voted on anything since last night. Thus, I'm at 91% voting power...
So this should - hopefully - pay off a bit.
But one thing I've noticed: a comment on a whale's post that was upvoted by the whale does so much more for my Steemit wallet than my own posts. Which is odd, sad, and a little disconcerting. But I'll keep on keeping on.
Voting for this...NOW.
