Sketchy or not, I am finding myself in a low steem power situation because I didn't understand how this all worked.

If you're not psycho about up-voting, you'll never realize any of this is happening behind the scenes. At worst, you would simply not get why upvoting someone costed them money / added more than expected / or added less than expected.

Yeah I started noticing my upvotes arent counting for anything. So I guess I better chill on that for a little bit.
