Hey, thanks for taking the time to explain, though I actually know the technicalities of how voting works here. It comes down to your goals I guess. Personally, I don't care if my own voting % is trash. I have gone as low as 26%, and even though it's next to worthless, adding that one vote to encourage someone else is what I find most important. I vote 100% all of the time because I only vote on posts that deserve it. It's a reward for the effort that the author has put into making his post.
While arguably it has next to no monetary value, the encouragement it gives is priceless. I leave comments on authors that I support to set them apart from those I just gave votes on.
I do agree that the votes that are 1-5% are next to worthless, however, I don't believe that vote value is the building block of Steemit, rather it's a means to an end. Interaction and mutual support should be the foundation. Votes are easy to give out, and its automation almost removes the human element from it.
It's good to know where you stand regarding that, and I respect your decision. I'll just have to change my rule and give you 60% as well. I would still have @whatageek for example at 100% though because that's how he votes on my posts. No hard feelings, man. We all have our reasons we act the way we do, and I appreciate you taking the time to detail yours.
I tried to be polite. You think you can behave differently - no!
