The Tiers here in the post will be fixed. Don't worry, you are on Tier 2 right now.
Please keep in mind that the upvote value changes with the change of Steem price and can drop below 0.01 though.
As for the changes. We understand that some members do not post daily and that is ok. In this case the better option would be delegation: 100SP for Tier 1 and 200SP for Tier 2. That way you do not have to remember about upvotes (only until the end of April) or a renewing the monthly subscription starting in May.
You will stay on the right Tier until you decide to undelegate.
