RE: Don't cast worthless votes - zero-value votes in HF20
Hi @crokkon
Another excellent analysis, expanding on the work you have already done in looking at 'dust'. Who would have thought it was such an interesting topic to analyse :D
In general the vote percentage distribution suggests a slight increase in the vote percentages. This effect was expected, since casting very small votes sacrifices a considerable share of rshares for most voters.
Yes, makes sense.
What's interesting to see is that half of the worthless votes were cast with a vote percentage of 10% or less! A good share of these votes probably wouldn't have to be worthless!
I also suspected this to be the case. Partly misunderstanding/awareness, and following:
I had a quick look into the zero-value voters and votees and a good fraction of them seem to come from voting trails. Surprisingly, this includes also a few alt accounts from well-known steemians.
Probably a little laziness too :)
As always, fine work. I appreciate the conclusions and the sound advice within.
Staff picked this week!

Thank you, Asher, for all the support on multiples layers - again! Highly appreciated!
Possibly, but maybe also just not worth the effort caring about the ~100 SP alt as long as the ~100k SP main account is doing fine. For the trails, I'd expect that a lot of users simply aren't aware - neither before, when their account could not follow a low-% vote, nor now when the vote goes through but is worthless...
Thank you for your review, @abh12345! Keep up the good work!
