The voting issue is a different problem = solved here
Also, the perception of having fewer votes is a psychological condition that we like to see ourselves at 100%. @timcliff wrote a long article showing that we have as many votes as we want - or need - we just end up operating at a lower voting power, but as that is now worth 4x what it was we can go back to 40 votes at 25%x4 and pretend we were back at pre-HF19.
I did stress that the psychological problem of this issue is a real problem and that the UI could change that perception by changing the visible power % without changing the underlying algorithm.
Yes, people with hundreds of followers frequently receive less than 10 votes on any given post. While quality and audience have some to do with this, I think it would be beneficial for it to be easier to spread the votes around, especially when the majority of users don't even have a slider.
Can you think of any solutions?
i will give it some thought - i reckon appealing to the community to upvote someone new everyday could help
There are some curation groups that are trying to do things, but it doesn't really address the greater issue. It certainly helps and is commendable.
One new solution has already started = Minnows Accelerator Project
