It is not my intention to affect earnings. The change does not let you vote more. It is hard to predict effect of something that might influence how people react to change, however my guess would be that there will be very slight shift of rewards towards regular posters at the expense of hbdstabilizer and other mana-burn content, since by letting people more freely allocate voting power to posts they actually want to support, they will be left with less excess mana to burn. It will also be easier to avoid reaching 100% and wasting mana regeneration.
After the change current behavior can still be achieved, f.e. if now you voted 100% for post A and then post B, after the change you'll still be able to vote 100% on A and 98% on B, getting exactly the same results. I doubt anyone will be willing to do that though. The change simply gives you more options on when and where to use mana you already have. After all users are (mostly) not bots, therefore they are constrained by things such as sleep, work, hobbies, social interactions and other entertainment - they are not slaves to Hive. Therefore the system should not artificially constrain users beyond clear necessity.
