hmm, hadn't considered that either.
@charlieshrem, I'd say keep the power, for as long as you can.
Eventually you'll - I think very likely - be happy you did. And in the mean time, your voting power is a good thing for the rest of us.
But if you're only voting up on the few people you follow however, consider following more folks who create content you enjoy. Otherwise you're just keeping it in the family, as it were.
You spread more than a given monetary value with you upvotes, you spread good will. Far more important.
