Thanks Asher!

Yes, I think getting the agreement of the bot owners to the new policy meant that the change over the month isn't so much a surprise. But I found the scale of the late voting really quite surprising.

Huge early votes can be a big gamble. It can put people off as you say. But if a whale sees your post on trending then your luck could be in. It's a little bit all or nothing in approach.

Cheers for the resteem!
