RE: The Rewards Calculation Curve was not the only thing prejudicial against small and new accounts on Steem
I didn't realize this is the case! Is it perhaps because when an account has such little power, a vote isn't worth enough to break it down? I mean, I remember in the beginning when my vote was worth just a penny! If I decided to vote at 10%... is that even quantifiable as a vote? If not, it might confuse people to see that their vote doesn't change the monetary amount on a post and they'd think there were glitches.
Maybe I'm wrong!
it used to be the case, but now even 100SP gives about 10 cents. New users are faced with the choice of earning immediately on self votes, or who knows when they might get upvotes...
I just voted you 9%. My vote power is at 40% and I have about 1100 SP. that's roughly 3.6% of the total reward-giving power of my SP
Ah, that makes sense. Well, IMO "who knows when" would be when they start engaging with people on the platform in place of spam commenting and self-upvoting. I won't even take a second look at someone who clearly hasn't read my post, copy/pastes their link in the comments, and upvotes it. No sirree! Lol
I am all over this subject this last 24 hours, and believe me, there is a groundswell rising.
