Still very new to steemit, this is all quite confusing (since upvotes are encouraging to content authors you'd think being more free with them would benefit the community by encouraging more content, power limits seem to negate this) but I really appreciate you taking the time to make it a little clearer.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
You are free to vote as much as you like. Only whales (investors) should be concerned about their voting power really but unfortunately when these changes happen everybody assumes it affects them too.
I wrote this post to try to help those people who are reducing their votes out of fear and show them there's nothing to worry about. My power is 65% now and so my voting slider is coming down again. I don't know where it will settle but I expect it won't go near 20% after I experimented with that account in the video. You can see that it takes a lot of votes to actually get that low because 100% votes only reduce 2% of what's left, which at 50% becomes 1%.
I can see that you're still waiting for your slider (you get it when you have 500 SP). So you are stuck with 100% upvotes for now, but try not to worry about your power when you vote. Just have fun! That's what we're here for.
