I have to choose between giving small votes to cover maximum authors or significant votes to few authors.

Personally, I will vote with such power that my vote brings the author at least one dollar. Further power reduction simply downplays the importance of the steemcurator's vote. But this is my opinion and it may be wrong.

Even when my one post goes un voted or I get a small vote, I start panicking

😂 You made me smile.

By the way, I also try to analyze which of my posts receive more support and which less. In order not to write on topics that are of no interest to anyone.

God knows what will happen when the actual curation will start.

I am still convinced that these changes are for the better.
