I think HF19 has caused a lot of confusion about voting. It's tough to go from about 40 votes per day down to about 10. For me personally, that's just not enough to curate new posts and welcome new minnows, much less to support the people I'm actively following. Plus the dilemma of voting with just a tiny amount to contribute vs not voting at all. I read one post today in which the author said a low-value vote would be an insult to his creativity, while I'm sure there are others, such as myself, who would appreciate any vote at all. So what is the solution to this situation? I think HF19 has created more problems than it supposedly alleviated.
great reply ! Thanks so much ! Sadly enough , I need to agree with you , steem on !
Uptvoted! ;)
I've been on Steemit for almost a month now and I keep making content and engaging with other interesting users. I think it's good to select some users who prove themselves to put in the work to make great inspiring content. At the same time keep your eyes open to new users :)
yes thanks ! That I do as there's a ton of newbies flooding steemit ! Mostly always asking me to up vote or resteem their stuff ! This could be another reason why alot of older steemians are taking a break as well ! Thanks again , and keep steeming on !๐๐๐๐
Doing fine, I have been a member for a year and left my downvote on too long sorry as didn't know what i was doing. I have low bids on BITTREX for STEEM so i will power up next weekish.
that's OK thanks ! Just be more careful and keep an eye on it ! Good luck !๐๐๐
I believe part of the issue is the new voting power equation...for instance, prior to the last HF, I was using SteemVoter to cast votes automatically for me on the accounts that I thought put out good content...if the post didn't gain much and the curation reward was small, it didn't matter...now that the votes are worth more, and voting power takes longer to replenish, I have shut down SteemVoter and spent time casting votes manually...which means quite a few of the people who used to get my votes, aren't getting them now...they're going to better content because I have to take time to make sure I want to spend my vote on that post...I'm guessing I wasn't alone in making this change...that's my take on what's happening...because I noticed quite a drop off myself, and only one or two bot votes per post.
thanks for such an awesome reply to my question ,The best one yet ! And it now makes a lot more sense whats going on ! Im thinking they may need to tweek it again a bit to correct this problem on the next hard fork , if it can be done that is! ๐๐๐
You bet...glad to be of assistance :)
yes it sure helps thanks !๐๐๐
I think its one of the cons of HF19, rewards are higher, but VP goes fast. Just after HF19 my VP fell below 10%, so we're forced to pull back on the amount of votes we use.
thanks ! Yes me too ! It took me a couple of days but my voting power is getting back up now ! Just need to be more careful and keep an eye on it ! Mostly up voting at 1 or 2 % it still gives money but allows me to share the wealth more LOL! So I can up vote way more people , plus do a couple of really good posts with more power ! Win win!๐๐๐๐
Yea, I range my votes between 2% and 25%, I'm coming off a cool down though, so gonna do a lot of voting today
haha awesome ! Im the same way ! Been having to take it easy LOL ! ๐๐๐๐
I feel that many users save their votes now when one vote has. 4x the power as before HF19.
yes for sure ! If you have a lot of money saved up you can still up vote a ton of people at 1or 2 % and never lose your voting power !
congratulation!!! Iยดm follower number 1306 already))))
thanks I will follow you back ! ๐๐๐
Rumour has it that the whales are diving deep to escape the influx of mediocre content, how to's, and follower self appreciation blogs ๐ค
No offence, I'm guilty too!
hummmm!? For the most part I cant them ! But everyone seems to be doing it , not just the whales ! I worked hard for 11 months to gain a following , and now im not reaping any of the rewards ! ๐
I'm sorry to hear that, i hope it will improve for you, and all Steemians. And if not, you can always up-vote yourself for $10 a day :D
haha ! Wish my up votes were worth much ! I have had to power down these past 13 weeks but im almost done now ,thanks ! Plus my voting power is getting back up to , it was getting pretty low so I had to take it easy for a couple of days ! Keeping a better eye on it now ! Thanks!๐๐๐๐
I feel you Karen, used to get around 100 votes on a post. Now i have 500 followers and i am down to a 20 to 30 votes average. It sure feels kinda strange, but lets just keep pushing on ;)
oh for sure , never stop steeming on ! Its just weird from before ! We work our asses off to gain the following , and get know where ! Its worse the ever !LOL! Thanks for your kind rep!y!๐๐
