About a week ago there was a lot of chatter on blogs encouraging people not to drain their voting power by voting. I think that "advice" is responsible for what we're seeing. The way I look at my voting influence, even when my voting power is at 20%, it gives content creators the same if more than the same vote did at 100% before the hardfork. So I didn't care so much about keeping my power at 100% and just kept voting as usual. There's no real good reason to concentrate your vote and just upvote your circle of friends because spreading it between more unique users is better at increasing your following (and upvotes from those followers)
Thanks for posting! Upvoted.
Well said!! Following
