Tim, I've been posting about this, saying that the error of HF19 was that people were convinced that they could only vote 10 times a day. Many people will not leave a comment if they don't upvote. Therefore, people stopped leaving comments because they felt like they were out of votes for the day. Total negative.
The way you explain it in this post needs to be exposed to the entire small minnow community. They're confused and missing out on the one penny curation. I remember, a month ago, when my vote became worth a penny, I was so excited!
All the newbies need to feel like they can vote freely.
Feeling free to comment and engage with others is vital, not only to the growth of individual Steemers, but to Steemit as a whole. HF19 has been so confusing in this regard.
