Voting power is something I'm sure most of us didn't understand when we first started out. Today, let's talk about tools to watch your voting power, how it regenerates, and my strategy to manage it. Hope you enjoy the video.
With Gratitude,

Nice, well done
Thanks for the video, wonderful words
Great post
Congrats you made the #steemitminute for today! https://steemit.com/dtube/@reseller/1hufe21o
Thanks!
The struggle is real. I wish I could upvote everyone.
There is a lot of great content so it does make it difficult to manage and support as many as possible.
Good Vlog. Yes i also think its important to use the Votings right. So we can support the good content. There are a lot good vlogs blogs Videos and ... out there. They need to be supported.
Agreed. I try to support in various ways the folks that I follow and are interested as well as new creators who are breaking into the platform.
Great tips. Was very helpful. I was 72 hours away from 100% finally over 80% now. I am going to try and stay there now.
It took me a while before I found a rhythm that works, but at times, I still have to back off a bit. I try to spread it around as best I can.
A @captainbob video is almost always a 100% vote for me ;) But this is a very important topic to think about. And my gosh I didn’t even know you could adjust to voting power on DTube... Thank you for telling me where I can find it. Since I have the slider I always went back to steemit to adjust and vote there.
Thanks man. I always really appreciate your support and glad you learned about the dtube voting power adjustment!
The struggle with voting power is real! Great video.
Yeah it is man. So much great content that I want to support so trying to share the love :)
I have been longing for this lesson. Thankful and i am going to see how to use rightly my voting power!
Glad you enjoyed the content and hope you found it helpful!
i was thinking that steemit did an update, I didn't know that when you reach 500sp you get the option to choose your voting power.
I just reached 500sp, Thank you for this info!
Yeah I'm unsure why steemit doesn't do it from the beginning with the slider, but glad there are other options to manage it as well.
Hey thanks @captainbob, I'm new on Steemit and I had no idea how to check my voting power, but I checked out steem.supply as suggested and there is a lot of useful info there.
Yes, steem.supply is a great tool to keep around. It has such valuable info and I use it multiple times per day. Glad that was helpful!
Oh man this is perfect. I didn't even realize you could change your voting power on dtube. I was sitting on like 50-60% for a while. Nice! Thanks Captain!
You know who I ran into the other day, man? One of my clients - he's a father too. We had a similar talk to one of your videos :) he said he had the same realization too when his late wife passed. He got remarried since then and I'll probably upload their wedding here @phototutorials
Are you on discord by any chance? #onelovedtube
Yeah I am actually surprised by how many people weren't aware of that so I 'm glad the post was useful! I am on discord in most of the channels such as minnowsupport, dtube, and dtubedaily.
i started on ~20 Cents and after a couple of days i spend ~50 Cents with 100% votepower ... over night it changes to 1 Cent and i still didnt get it ...WHY? ... thats why i am powering down searching for better to understand alternative now.
steem power would increase your vote worth if that is what you mean.
Thanks for that Skipper. I'm afraid I've probably been throwing it around like a drunken sailor. It's just so tempting to encourage contributors whose work you enjoy. I'll check out those sites for sure and try to control my urges.
Agreed. It's a tough thing to manage and keep track of haha.
Yeah man, voting is a great way to show support. I also have a problem making it rain on people. There is so much going on!!
It's pretty busy and there are a ton of great people I would love to support but there are limits.
Thats for sure.
I am new here but I already know that voting power should be as high as possible.
Am I correct?
Thanks for your help.
As said, I think managing it between 80-100% is a valid strategy allowing you to regenerate each day. That assumes you are daily voting content, etc.
Thanks.
Oops, this post may have backfired on you.... I didn't realize I could adjust my voting power on DTube. Instead of giving you a 100% upvote I just gave you a 20% lol. Sorry about that. Not that my vote is worth much...yet. Seriously though, thank you for educating me on that, I've been enjoying your videos. Oh, and steem.supply is now bookmarked!
I'd call that a success! If I was able to help out, then mission accomplished :) Thanks for following along.
Mission accomplished then, thanks again!
This is useful information for a newbie like my self. I guess adjusting the voting power does not matter much if you don`t have any SP and your vote is worth nothing anyways.
I think even in the beginning it is great to learn how to manage it so you can be prepared as you build your steem power.
Apparently there is browser extension that enables minnows to chose their voting weight as well.

I think its a very good decission of d.tube to not let everyone vote for everything, so people making good content get rewarded for their content. Its not like on youtube, where the shitty content is allways trending.
Nice Video! You got my upvote ;)
I'm glad that it has some real value for an upvote. Unlike some of the other socials where the upvote supposedly helps you in the algorithm, but how do we really know?
I didn't realize there was yet another metric that needed to be considered. Interesting video, thank you.
You are very welcome!
I'm terrible at keep my voting power over 85% haha.
YES for Spiderman reference!
I totally knew you would get and appreciate the Spiderman reference.

It's so hard to keep voting power up! I am going to have to be wiser with my powers. Thank you for the information. I am down to 55% power XD
Great message for newcomers. I use steemd.com/@username and steemnow.com/@username for checking my voting power. They are great too.
