You're the best followers! You're so smart to know and follow me! I love each and every 75 of you, you're so good at following, it's just unbelievable. You have never seen anybody follow anybody, like my followers follow me, they're just the best. I love you!
You knew it wouldn't take too long for me to attract the whales, right? That's why you're following me; you're so smart! And once again we've been proven right! Did you see it?
Ned upvoted our post; Stop Telling People That They Can Make Money From Steemit !!
Isn't Ned great? He is, isn't he ...
Ned is so smart, he knows which posts to upvote. He only upvotes really great posts. Ned is just so smart, nobody upvotes posts like Ned does, he's just the best. When he upvotes a post, you know that's a great post, Ned is never wrong.
We love Ned. Don't we, people? You love Ned too, right? Of course you do, he's a really good upvoter, in fact, I should say he's probably the best upvoter. Don't you agree, Ned is the best upvoter of them all It's just amazing.
This is not just another steemit account, but a movement.
You're the best movement on steemit and the other ones know it, that's why they don't vote for my posts; they're scared. They know that,now I'm here, they don't stand a chance, they're just losers ... what a bunch of losers, right? They don't know what they're doing and that's why they didn't vote for my post. They just don't know what they're doing, I'm telling you. What a bunch of losers, believe me.
So, I'm going to build a wall!
ow, no, sh!t, that's that other dude's script ... where's my script?
Who took my script ?!?
YOU'RE FIRED!
That's all folks ... don't forget to upvote!
So how come your post is only worth a dollar when @Ned upvotes it? According to this, his vote is worth $206. I believe the price index may be faulty, but by that much?

well, he upvotes a lot and the more you upvote, the lower the vote's value ...
Not according to this:
He's at 99% of his voting power.
you're on to something, he must indeed have upvoted it almost right after I posted it, in fact ... I know he did, because I was watching it HAHAHA ... and seconds later I got about 20 more votes as well :)
but let me tell you something ...
I didn't read the white paper, I don't care! I don't WANT to know how it works, I just wanna communicate with other people, that's it.
I'm just going to keep posting and fill the gap they left wide open; I'll be here for the people, for the spirit, for the art, the dreams, the passion and of course for the love of it all :D
let dan and ned worry about the code and all that other boring stuff ;-)
Well, I may have my answer... on my own post. Don't read the comments unless you really want to know...

here you can see the %
https://steemdb.com/@ned
but I must admit, I have no idea why the post before me got 7% and the post after me 40%, while I got only 1% ... I guess it has something to do with who else already voted for the post, but not sure about that
On second thought, the percents you are seeing could be the curate rewards @ned would get on your post if it became popular. He must have upvoted it really early on, so he'd only get 1% of his potential curate rewards for the upvote. On the post where he gets 40%, he probably voted for it about 12 or 13 minutes into it, so he would get more reward. There is a penalty on percent curation rewards you get if you upvote within the first half hour. It drops to zero after the first half hour is past.
That doesn't explain why you only get a Dollar for his upvote, though, when he's at nearly 100% of his voting power.
I think something's not working right with the system here, or there is an additional variable I have yet to learn.
On second thought, the percents you are seeing may be the curate rewards @ned would get on your post if it got popular. There is a penalty if you upvote within the first half hour. I think @ned must have upvoted your post very quickly after you published it, so he forfeits all but 1 percent of the curate rewards he could have gotten for it. That's good news for you, because the forfeited rewards go to the post author.
That doesn't explain why you only get a Dollar for his upvote when he's at 99.8 percent of his voting power and well known to be a whale. Either something is wrong with the system, or there is yet another variable for me to learn.
I realize for you it's not about the money anyway. For me, I'd at least like to know the logic behind it and what to expect.
@ned, what's the deal? Please educate a minnow here :)
I would like to know. I mean, even not all whale votes are created equally... or something. According to steemstats.com, @ned is at 99.8 percent of his voting power. Even at one percent, you should have gotten closer to $2 just from his upvote (though we figure the price index from that site is probably outdated and therefore, overestimating). And yes, why in the world, after getting lucky enough to be graced with a founding whale's upvote, do you then only get 1% of the rewards from that upvote? What's the logic behind this? @ned, can you speak to that, please?
I guess we got our answer now;
