RE: Smaller accounts should get the voting slide bar too!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your two cents ;)
@xyzashu actually pointed me to this post by @timcliff which points out that if we vote 40 times a day, our voting power will drop to 25% and balance out there, so we would be effectively getting the same experience as with the voting slider permanently set there. And if you vote a bit less, your voting power will manage to climb a bit higher. The only difference is that we wouldn't really be able to give more valuable votes, so we still have less freedom than the accounts with more steem power around here. Still, the difference between a 1 cent upvote and 3 or 4 cent one is not that big though large percentagewise.
I read that post and understand the maths - I just find it, in a way, more satisfying to see my upvotes being worth something to somebody. The difference is big enough I think, when you come from actually not seeing a post rise in value after your upvote, to actually gaining, 1, 2, 3 or more cents. And I still have that feeling, and hope to see my upvote being worth more and more. That's why I power up and get delegated SP, it's just too much fun! :)
But I guess the point was to find either ways of getting around the slider, or to find a balance in upvoting/voting power. And i think everybody on here will have to find a balance for him/herself: grind it out getting your SP to 500, using esteem or chainbb (a bit annoying but effective), or getting delegated SP
Very well put! I remember when my upvote was worth zero cents, it was really frustrating and it felt like my upvote was useless. Now when it varies between one and four, it's more satisfying, but I would surely like to get my numbers up.
