RE: Your 2 Cent Vote is Worthless, The Real Deal on Dust Votes

in #steemit7 years ago

The problem is I'm on @thealliance autovoter, the @curie autovoter, and another one, which I don't remember. Due to this, I'm always at 40-70%. I think I'll do some tweaking with them, and see if this improves. I didn't realize it would be that high at 100% though. Makes sense as although my current struggles suck, writing about them is making a lot more than I'm used to. I'm writing a post highlighting your article BTW! ;)

Sort:  

turn off the autovotes for 3 days and recover your voting power. Don't tweak them, just turn them off to until you get back to 98% as they will suck you dry again in no time.

Honestly I think vote trails are the biggest waste of voting power out there. You gain nothing from them as the author doesn't engage with you as you aren't leaving a comment, the curation claims as BS, and unless it means you are getting autovotes from the group in return there is just no point to them other then letting someone else run your account at which point why not just sell votes on smartsteem and get paid for those votes.

This is just my opinion and I'm sure others will disagree, but you are wasting a ton of money that could be given out daily to those you engage with and that support you for what?

Your voting power will serve you much better by investing it in the people who support your blog vs the masses.

Yeah, I'm just going to delete my participation for curie and the other one, as it's pointless. Voting at I think 20% on the alliance one, which is a lot, so I think if I lower it to 5%, and delete the other 2, I will see a big difference...
And when I'm back, I will upvote these comments lol! Can't get any delegations at this time because I need the sbd.

Mostly unrelated, but yay for Wisconsin! I grew up near West Bend. Where-ish are you located?

I'm in central Wisconsin. :)

You also have a significant portion of your SP delegated out, I see. You could/should end that delegation. No sense delegating when you're struggling with VP issues, maybe?

To be in @thealliance, we are required to delegate 60 SP to @themothership upvote bot, which upvotes all the members. There's also the @a11y upvote bot too, but that one's voluntary.
