Yeah, I think the change is really hard on people who don't have the voting slider yet. I definitely understand the reluctance to vote when your voting power keeps draining that fast!
Sadly payout seems to have less and less to do with quality but fuck it, just be yourself and post self indulgently
Good advice :-)
I try to read the posts about changes sometimes, but it's so hard for me to focus on the text, because it doesn't always make sense to me. Oh well, I'll try from time to time and besides that, just do what I enjoy!
It's not just about being hard on people without the slider, it's created a scarcity mindset around voting power so that we are all less likely to Upvote. There are also those with sliders who are lazy and would rather give 100% votes to their friends because it's nice to give a full dollar. Maybe they'll do it for strangers too but not as much a surprise ifhey had 40 votes a day at 100%
The only way you are unaffected by the change is if you always vote at 20-30%
Yup! I keep mine down quite a bit and if I'm lazy, I double click the upvote button, because I know it's not at 100%. I need to conciously make the decision to upvote 100%. I guess not everyone has gotten the same thought pattern :-(
