As copied from a @smooth comment below @steemitblog's latest post:
Votes don't have a constant value any more. It depends on the amount of stake (SP) voting on a particular item of content. When making a small vote on an unvoted item, the value will appear smaller and when combined with other votes it will be larger. The details are in one of the links from main post.
It's part of the changes :-) Just wanted to clarify, might be that I'm not able to take away your anger as I know that's been coming for a long time, but just want everyone to understand that is happening ;-)
You've been awesome always to me and a tremendous advocate for the platform @soyrosa! Thank you for the information and for trying to help me to see how this will shape up. I'll keep my eyes open, and honestly I hope it works out for good people like you that deserve to be rewarded for your always helpful and friendly ways!
:-) Thanks for the nice words. Steem taught me some patience - I'm just sitting back and observing while this experiment develops. Hope you see what you've built here regardless of all kinds of technical changes: a lot of interaction which means friends who care. Cheers!
The interactions with friends is what has kept me going. You are right about that for sure :D
Have a wonderful evening @soyrosa!!!
