RE: Why the change from 40 to 5 votes is terrible for us small fish.
#3 really hits the mark. Why spend your time actually reading the article and commenting on it, when no one will want to upvote your reply. Spend the time writing your own stuff instead of commenting I guess.
It might be a good strategy to just write five posts a day and use your five votes on your own stuff.
Not everyone is a writer, photographer etc. A site needs more readers/commenters than creators. Like saying everyone should be on the football team instead of enjoying watching the game.
THAT is an excellent comment!!!
(But sorry I can't afford to upvote it tho, you understand I'm sure... JK!)
Very good analogy! Why not post this in the thread where the change was announced?
i dont post, I'm not a writer, I'm a reader/learner ... this imo ruins the chance for being a curator and getting any comment votes, so ..what's the point of even reading ?, what the point of "Engaging" at all? just lurk and read I guess
I think it's just a cover to force people like us to buy steem to power up if we want to participate.
not going to happen
you might be able to make some curation reward here, if you hurry ...

You nailed it. The negative effects will cascade beyond upvotes on the post. Also if you create 4 articles a day you are now only left with a single full power upvote to grant to someone else. Do you think I'm going to give that upvote to your comment? Fuck no, I'll save it and give it to one of my dolphin friends so they don't forget about me when they are giving out their limited votes.
This will compound the social clique problem already bubbling under the surface.
So if we take your point and @ibringawareness point above, combine it with @fubr-bdhr entire post, what hell are we supposed to do? How can we make this work without throwing a bunch of money at it... either buying SP, promoting or paying others to post our stuff for us?
You're brilliant. Problem solved!
Except we're all limited to four posts, so one to share
lol... another boob that didn't read the whitepaper :)
Can't reply below your other one so replying here.
Unless they changed it there is no payout after the 30 day one.
That's a bummer. I've been thinking about that for a while. thanks for answering it.
It hurts your rewards if you post too often. 4 a day is about right.
So when you write something, you receive a distribution at 24 hours and then after thirty days. Do you keep getting them every thirty days into infinity, or just two payments?
Replying to @vegascomic below, I am hoping they eventually make the payout ad infinitum as well - or even just one year -but guess there's only so much free money they can give away. I do think longer payouts would increase the user base and activity on the site tho, as you'd post more hoping for payoffs years later as well. Maybe if it incorporated an activity threshhold, like "one post per month" rule or something like that.
An upvote from someone like myself with 600+sp is still pretty worthless even at full power, but whales and dolphins will still be upvoting comments as well as posts, so there is no reason to see this as a reason to stop reading and commenting at all.
