Please see the footnote and post about SP - you are discounting your votes by letting your SP go below 80%. SP regenerates at 20% per day, so, you need 2 1/2 to 3 days of no voting to let it regenerate.

I would tell people to wait a few days to regain SP because then, you would more than double your effective SP - it is all multiplied.

You just blew my mind. You're the first person to offer that in depth of an evaluation of voting power. Thank you so much for that. And for replying to every single other piece of my comment. 😊 I do just have one more question. When I multiply 0.4 X 298 I get something like 119. So does that mean that it's the same as voting with 119 SP?

Exactly my point:

• 298 voting power but at 40% strength voting at 100% of what is availble / left = 119 SP at 100% strength and also voting 100%
• 298 voting power at 100% strength and voting only 40% - meaning 50 votes at 40% of 2% depletion = 20% depletion per day and 20% regeneration per day (and, yes, at 500 SP or above, you get a slider to choose voting with less than 100% of the 2% each time, but so can you with less than 500 SP - at busy.org)

Yeah, but my vote is worth so little as it is I'm not going to make it worth less. I don't know your views on it, but I see people uploading me with like 2% voting power and giving $0.001. I think that I would rather than just not vote at all and save their voting power for things they really enjoy. I do appreciate you spending so much time helping me. I almost feel bad for it because I know you must have a thousand other things to do. But thank you again and I send you all of my love dear friend.
