What vote weights do you use when up-voting content?

Who's in for some more pies? A graphical representation of the vote weight you have used to up-vote content in 2018.

Anything tailor made to each of us is going to go down well. That's what's so valuable about them. A lot of data gets pulled, but when it doesn't specially have anything to do with us, it's just abstract information waiting to be applied. So, when you pull a list that we can see numbers of what we're individually doing and how that stacks up with others is very much welcome as far as I'm concerned. @glenalbrethsen - 2018

This morning I finished off the last couple of pies for the posts put out last week, I wonder if anyone would like to see this one?

Vote weight is used for those who like to take care of their Voting Power. I say this because some community members are not so worried about this percentage, and continue to vote when the VP % looks something like this:

Please don't request a pie if this is you!

Keeping your VP at a reasonable % (80%+) means you can recharge at a faster rate, and continually give out higher voting values.

If you are a small account < 500 SP, I am inclined to think that at present, you are voting fewer times each day with a larger vote weight, than a larger account which holds say 20000 SP. Doing this should improve your curation rewards take, and reduce the possibility of you giving dust votes out to comments ( < 0.03$).

With regards to curation rewards, it has been seen on many occasion in the Curation League, that an account with less than 500 SP has scored well voting 70 times a week. 10 votes a day at 100% vote weight, keeping the Voting Power up well into the 90%s.

This hypothesis could well be a load of rubbish, the pies will tell all!

What would be useful is that if the person requesting a pie, provided their current active Steem Power (including delegations in/out), so that it provides a bit more information for me, and the people passing by.

The pie will be sliced as follows:

WHEN weight > -1 and weight < 500 THEN '< 5%'
WHEN weight > 499 and weight < 1001 THEN '5 - 10%'
WHEN weight > 1000 and weight < 2001 THEN '10 - 20%'
WHEN weight > 2000 and weight < 3001 THEN '20 - 30%'
WHEN weight > 3000 and weight < 4001 THEN '30 - 40%'
WHEN weight > 4000 and weight < 5001 THEN '40 - 50%'
WHEN weight > 5000 and weight < 6001 THEN '50 - 60%'
WHEN weight > 6000 and weight < 7001 THEN '60 - 70%'
WHEN weight > 7000 and weight < 8001 THEN '70 - 80%'
WHEN weight > 8000 and weight < 9001 THEN '80 - 90%'
WHEN weight > 9000 and weight < 9501 THEN '90 - 95%'
WHEN weight > 9500 THEN '95 - 100%'

And your pie chart will look something like this:

• The data is taken from 1st January 2018 to present
• Only up-votes are included

I currently hold around 17000 active Steem Power, and have held at least 6000 active SP in my account since the beginning of 2018. This allows me to, in theory, distribute more votes at a lower weight whilst still providing a tick-up on the post/comment value.

I have tried, even during the recent downturn, to reward all comments voted on with at least a 0.03$ vote - which has meant voting at 3/4% vote weight, depending on how much my voting power was suffering. This is shown in the pie above clearly, but what is also shown (but less obvious to the eye) is that I will vote at 40-50% more commonly than most of the middle ranges, the same being true for and 95-100% - I have my favorites, and random posts that deserve a 'good' nudge.

I think the pie shows a wide spread of votes, with a few larger votes reserved for certain content.

Due to the additional data divisions (compared to the 4 last week), these pies will take slightly longer to bake, but I will try to get them all done before they are burned.

Please provide your current active Steem Power in your request.

Any takers?

Cheers

Asher
