What's Your Voting Style?
Hi everyone! Hope your day is going well!
How do you decide to vote on your content? I've been thinking a bit, and I have come up with the conclusion that there are several different voting styles out there. Which one do you fall into?
1.) The quality content curator: You have an eye for quality, and you know when someone works hard on their post. You vote on quality content only, and have an aversion to the flippant posts. You focus on the integrity of this platform.
2.) The autovoter: You want to reward the people you like the most, but maybe don't have the time to manually curate. You know you'll like your friend's posts, in part because you like the people behind them.
3.) The entrepreneur: You upvote posts that will get you the most curation rewards, and you upvote your own posts too. You might be a whale hunter. 
4.) The clique voter: You've made some connections here, and you focus on the people in your circle. You give little credence to the content of what you come across, and are happy with your friends.
5.) The chaotic voter: There really is no rhyme or reason. When you like something, you upvote it! Your voting power may suffer for this though.
6.) The tiny voter: You want to spread the love as much as you can, so you vote everyone at a really low percent so you can get to all the posts you value. You probably wish you had higher SP though!
7.) The specific voter: You have a passion for a cause, or a certain subject, and you upvote posts related to the topic or topics you find important.
8.) None of the above: Let me know in the comments if you're something different altogether.
So what do you think? Did I nail it, or have I missed the mark?
Thanks for reading!
Love, snowpea ❤

I think mine is a little bit of everything...except 3
Me gusta votar contenido de calidad, pero no puedo dejar atrás a mis amigos sin que sientan mi apoyo, quizá mezclo ambos estilos. Saludos.
My voting style is a hybrid of a few of the types mentioned in your post. A weighting of sorts goes on in my decision.
The greatest criteria is voting for content of posters which have a lower rep than myself. It is my understanding that you will then have the greatest affect on their rep. Even at 100% my upvote is still only worth 10+ cents, my feeling is that helping with rep is more benificial than my 10 cents.
Those that have greater rep than me still will get my vote occationally if the content of the post is well liked by me and their is normally a good payout from that account's posts. This is often Witnesses; which all 133 are foĺlowed by me.
Of course there are my small circle of Buds which can normally depend on my support, yet they have generally become my Buds because their content is generally of interest to me. However if it is something which is not agreeable to me then they will not get a vote. The recent Memorial Day praising of the US mliitary fell into that category.
Resteemed posts will rarely get a read let alone a vote and those that do more resteeming than blogging normally have my follow cancelled.
It's interesting to see that everyone who commented here is a hybrid of several different types, and come to think of it, I am too! I'm certainly not a tiny voter though, as all my votes are at 100%.
I think it's very wise to follow all the witnesses! Maybe I'll do that too. Not sure if you knew, but my friend and dedicated Steemian @c0ff33a just announced that he became a witness last night, so you have one more to follow. :)
I never considered this before. My 100% upvote is small too, but the effect on rep is based on amount of Steem Power and not the value of the upvote right? Interesting, I've never thought about this before!
The climate of Steemit had an influence on my personal beliefs. Even though you saw many posts praising the U.S. military here, there is a large percentage of free thinkers here. Many more than on FB. There people parrot the same sentiments, and share the same Memorial Day memes. A year ago I was one of them.
Thanks for your comment! :)
I mix a little of 1, 3, 4, 5 and 7. I definitely do not use number 2. Tried it once but cancelled it after about a month. It didn't feel right. And I don't use number 6 because I upvote everything at 100%. Even when I had more SP, I mostly voted 100%. If I like something, I am all in. All the rest of them I use because I have a few groups I like and will support. I cruise the steemit pages looking for quality content with the newer posters. And I will try to upvote posts at the appropriate time to get better curation awards (this is the one I use the least). That is my style, or whatever that is. I am all over the place. :)
I like manually voting to, although I am on #thealliance autovoter to support them, because it would be impossible for me to scan through 200 member's posts daily. Aside from that, I wouldn't feel right about it either.
A fellow 100% voter! :) I too am all in when I upvote. This may change once I get my slider for comments, but probably not posts. I'm stubborn and dislike busy.org, and I don't like leaving anyone out when they comment on my post, so I often struggle with my VP.
Maybe I should have included a category called The organized chaotic or something. ;) Thanks for your comment!
