I used to complain about not having one for upvoting back in the day!
Funny thing was that when I got my slider, I didn't know it was a thing that was earned, I thought it was a UI change :D
I am not sure why sometimes it takes the reward down, but it could be that the vote triggers a recalculation, and if the price feed has changed downward, it will appear to take it down.
Here's one I prepared earlier:

before it was changed to 500 it used to be 10k or something :')
I didn't know about Busy.org for months :)
good thing you had no followers back then anyway so the votes were not worth anything :p
I remember it took me about 6 months to get to 500 followers back then - I think I was a dolphin before that :D
That makes sense. I felt guilty so I figured I better hold on and wait on my votes until I figure it out. I have been trying to upvote the smaller accounts and look for some good art to support. I found (thanks to one of Acidyo's responses and posts) that some of my early votes to help them get more just returned back to the rewards pool!
Hahahaha It's a whole new game but I will get back my old sea legs here ASAP! I am looking forward to reading your post!
You'll get there but in general, just vote on what you like. there are some good art communities. Onchainart is full of talent.
