Totally agree man! Saw a post today that stated if you upvote all your own posts, comments and all, you will be able to double your voting power in like half a year. The urge to try this was overwhelming (But I promise you I did not give in).

HF19 Really makes you mindfully vote. I used to just totally disregard the power of my votes; after all the range was $0.01 → $0.01 so there wasn't much thinking involved. But now I can create upvotes worth up to $0.45 (if I wait for full power). While this is nothing insanely crazy, it does force me to think about who deserves the full power vote and who gets a nice $0.01 pad.

Cheers and Steem on!
