RE: Steemit Average Votes per Day by User Category
Close. When you vote at 100% weight your vote power is multiplied by 0.98 so if you are doing all your votes in one sitting you need to do 11. The math is 100% x 0.98^11 = 80.07% Then you will regenerate 20% over the next 24 hours to get back to 100% for the next day.
Why is it multiplied by 0.98? Do you have a source for that information? I'd love to see an explanation about the exact math behind all of this.
It is so that your voting power does not decay in a linear fashion otherwise your vote power would hit 0% after 50 votes (50 x 2% = 100%). It ensures your vote is always worth something and you can vote as much as you want - just with diminishing returns.
Here is a good article that talks about it :-
