If only one vote is cast, it gives the entire pool.
If three votes are cast, 1 10mv, 1 1000mv, and 1 1000000mv, they split the pool according to their stake.
The million sp vote gives 100k times the amount the 10mv vote gives.
Now, pull the whale vote and tell me if you like that distribution of the pool better?
When large accounts vote the little accounts get pushed off the long tail.
For every 300stu post on trending 3000 minnows got nothing.
When whales vote they dont just give, they also take away.
The pool is a commons.
Calling for them to vote more is counter productive, if you want to help the minnows.
It helps their select few at the expense of everybody else.
I didn't get it, either.
Until it was explained to me.
If you want more rewards less whale voting is the ticket.
Bid bots are bad for everybody except its owner, and even them if they crash the coin.
They know the math, but prioritize profits now over long term success.
I have noticed that I've gotten fewer rewards on posts where large accounts voted heavily. And I know there are some who weight their votes based on the ROI they hope to receive. I don't have the patience for that. And I've never asked a whale to vote. I don't see the point in chasing whales. So you got their attention. Big deal. Now what?
My plan is just to focus on creating awesome content and let rewards take care of themselves. I don't seem to be doing badly with that plan.
Steem on, it's about all we can do, atp.
