I was wondering if someone may be able to explain this to me. So I had noticed that over the past couple weeks my 100% upvote was worth about $1. It was fun being able to upvote people and see their earnings go up a full buck on their posts.
The past few days however I noticed when I upvote something at 100% it's only paying about $0.55 cents. I know a few days back my voting power had dropped down to about 80% so I undertand that may have lowered it, but as of right this second I'm at 99% voting power and my upvote is only worth about $0.55 cents.
Why is this?
I would imagine that it's linked to the value of Steem, so with the market dip, all of our upvotes will be worth less.
Hey @philnewton thanks buddy, I was guessing it may have had something to do with that but wasn't sure. I gave you a 100% upvote and it only gave you $0.51.
No problem, and thanks for the upvote! The exciting thing about it is that as the value of Steem increases, so do our upvotes. Just think what your current upvote could be worth if Steem is worth $15/$20/$100 in the future!
You've motivated me, I'm gonna keep it 100
Yeah I'm not overly worried about what it's worth in today's terms. It'd be nice to get it up a bit, but it's the future price that's really appealing.
I weep for all those people that are cashing out their Steem now.
Yup, wondered this back in the day and Phil is spot on. all about the price of steem.
I'm sure we'll start getting a little more for our upvotes soon. Hope so anyway. ;-)
I’ve also noticed low upvotes lately - not my own, as I’m new so they’ve always been next to nothing - but other peoples upvotes have been much lower 🤔 really interested to see what’s going on!
I hate to hear your upvotes are low lately, here you go, keeping it 100
Aw thanks a bunch - and right back atcha, shame it’s only worth 0.01 but the thought is there haha 😢
voting power is linked with steem price......so it has happened
Thanks buddy appreciate it, we'll keep it 100 for ya although couple guys above you got them first so were down to 30 something cents now.
thank you a lot.........i will always glad if i can help you or give you any information
This really sucks. Having been on Steemit for a month, I've experienced days where my 100% upvoted have been worth less than a penny, I mean, that's absurd! Hoping they raise the minimum threshold influence for minnows or just do anything that will give minnows more than next to no influence.
