RE: Now let me upvote myself a lot without any shame anymore. And see what the effects are.
I'd always considered 'voting for myself' in the same way I thought about pennies found on the sidewalk or parking lot. Free money (if very little). It'd be stupid to let it get away.
Odd thing...I have to vote a LOT...(and I mean a BUNCH) to lower my vote power much...and then a few comments. (like this one) will boost it right back...much faster than the 24 hr fill up.
I think (it seems to me)
It is part of the game here at SteemIt, I did see it differently, until today. The penny really dropped when I saw that it also influenced the reputation of an account. So, self upvoting from now on, for sure!
Strange that you are able to vote a lot before your voting strength goes down. When I did this experiment just now it really took quite a hit on my voting strength. But I have to state that I made really a lot votes in a short amount of time. And I think this will take about 2 to 3 days to recover.
It probably goes down fast after 40 votes in a relatively short amount of time. And slowly recovers from that. Mine is still below 50%.
Before I upvoted this one: 49.72%
After I did: 49.48%
Now will wait a minute... : 49.51%
Seems it really will take quite a while to fully recover, and every upvote I give takes a bite out off the voting power of this account.
So, I may have to lay down low for a while. :-)
