Steemit makes me feel bad sometimes 😞
So i may have a problem? Since I joined Steemit like 40 some days ago I've been hooked. I'm checking out posts like a madman and commenting like crazy!
The part that makes me feel bad is.. if I enjoy a post and leave a comment I feel like a cheapskate if I don't upvote. I HAVE to upvote! I don't want the blogger to feel like they didn't deserve an upvote or I'm so frugal I didn't leave one.
The problem is, I'm so active and upvote so much I'm always low power lately. Sad face.
Like I said I'm still kinda relatively new here and I'm not entirely sure of the etiquette? Is it just assumed you're not gonna get an upvote all the time if someone reads your blog and leaves a positive comment?
I got so low a few times my vote wasn't even worth a cent so what's the sense in a upvote if it's worthless?
I think what I'm gonna do going forward is, if I'm low power and I view your blog and enjoy it.. I'm just gonna send the poster some sbd's. It'll end up being worth more than my minnow upvote anyways.
If u see a small sbd infusion from @goldenarms it's probably because I viewed your post and enjoyed it but was powering up my v pow.
This way here I'll still feel good supporting the blogger and I can let my votes recharge.
Thanks for your time, god bless everyone :)
Don't feel bad. I don't always upvote either, but I do try and at least leave a comment so that the person knows theirs posts are at least being read. If I kept posting and had absolutely no feedback, I would feel more discouraged because I would feel like no one cared enough to even write and let me know.
Wow you got almost as many likes on this comment as I did in the post? Cray cray. Thx for stopping by @cassandraf
This is the same for me. I feel that before I leave a reply after reading a good article/post, I have to upvote. But I am a small fly and I do not think I worth much. But I want the writer to know I give what I have. I do not know or understand what's this % people are putting on their reply. Need to learn more.
@jackpot
Read the comments above. When u have 500 steem I guess u can change your vote strength so u can stretch it out longer..we have a ways to go yet haha
Get yourself a slider then you can set at 50% and go from 10 votes a day to 20 votes a day and still be fully recharged by the next day
I've heard I have to be @ 500 steem power before I can adjust it?
nah.. I have a slider with 113 steem power. There is a script that runs in the background that gives you the slider. Its set up for chrome browser but i use opera browser and it work fine in that one.
If you're interested i'll go look back for the link
I think the scripts also helps with older posts that are out of date and you want to upvote.. I sure the script looks for a valid post from the same poster
It's all good man, you keep the funny stuff coming and don't worry about the upvotes! @goldenarms
Thx @jbcoin. Aslong as I have some ppl enjoying my completely random content I'll keep it up! I'm kinda like a kid that way. Mom would say don't encourage him but it's too late :)
I can't tune out until I find out what Donny Bloghard did to that poor Janice, or Janet, or Jeanie or whatever her name is, on their first date. Like a slow train wreck, you just can't look away.
It's too bad that we are so limited in votes , I think it might be a good idea, just need to save some sbd .
Well I want to send u 3 a day just for being Canadian 😊 I'm actually enjoying your blog alot since I found ya a couple days ago. Keep that up k? Lol
Thanks a bunch, that is very kind of you!!
Or you can just furnish a really meaningful comment without taxing your voting power.... Just a thought anyway... Bottom line is that your heart is in the right place - and that is all that really matters!
Oh yes I always try to leave a decent comment. Is there such thing as commenting too much? I see I have far more posts than ppl that have been around alot longer. Maybe I'm just a talker? Or perhaps I need to give Steemit a lil break from time and find a life :)
Little bit of this, and a little bit of that - will work just fine - and no, in MHO one can never "comment" too much.... You're alright by me brother, no matter what you do!
Stop reading decent content then buddy.....or get more selective...
I guess us newer guys just only have about 10 votes per 24hrs before it's spent.. I do try and upvote every good thing i read but i see even when i have good power when i say upvote you, you get nothing maybe as a voted for you a few times on different days i dunno but then i go to another post and he gets 0.01..not on plus i was looking i think you need 35 steempower to give 0.01 when upvoting comments so right now it's worth zip but i still upvote a good comment.
Oh man I just have met so many cool ppl that I enjoy alot of posts. You right tho it's kinda set up so u pick the best content I guess? Just so much good content I find :) Thanks @roxdude for dropping in 👊😎 pound it!
Yeah man i know guess same with doing posts as well got my first downvote today he he from a 25 rep who been on here for months. I almost was gonna downvote him then i pressed it, then i thought naw i not playing that game.so removed it..idiot didn't even post a comment and you know i got no time for idiots. he one of those elite i bet. well dude i got news for him his fiat gonna be worth what his downvote was zip..
How do u know when u receive a downvote?
Under the people who voted instead of a + there are - before the name.
Also i use this app to see what my vote is and other stuff rather useful.

on there it in red rather than green.
You shouldn't feel bad just upvote me sometimes
Do u even have any content bud? I checked u out like yesterday and it looked like all resteems on yo page
Like an idiot I never hit post
Thxs for the SBD man! Keep doing what you're doing! Stay positive and good things shall come your way... :)
Oh yeah I'm having fun while earning a lil SBDs. I'm hooked :)
I run into that sometimes but I still vote because I feel like it encourages people. I do need to "rest up" for a bit so I can recharge. Maybe this is the time we spend creating future posts! ;)
My power seems to take so long to recharge. Idk if it's because I don't have alot of steempower or what? I notice some people decease their vote strength but idk how to do that? I'm on mobile idk if that matters? I hit everyone at 100% If I had to guess I'd say it'd take an entire day to recharge from 10% to full power. I can't go a day without giving my new homies an upvote haha
I feel your pain. The same way you feel about your homies, I feel about my peeps! LOL You can switch to lower power once you have 500 Steem Power. Until then, it's 100%. The mobile shouldn't matter.
Oh I didn't know that! Thanks for the tidbit of information. Appreciate it
You're a good egg. :)
Hey man, from my understanding your voting power recharges only by 20% everyday. So it will take 5 days to go from zero to 100%. Also from my understanding if you don't have 500sp or the voting weight slider, you votes and pretty close to worthless anyways, so i've read to just vote away and not worry, but when you do hit 500sp it may be time to change your voting practices. I find myself caught in the same problem as you, albeit I think I am a bit less active that you.
