I understand you think this is slightly unfair, you are entitled to your opinion.
Keep in mind we will be giving out slightly bigger upvotes to our T1-T2 members once the new account is activated and ready to be used. We are also not fans of self-voting, unless your posts are worthy of a selfvote.
Our service is lifetime and as long as you keep posting your are guarenteed to make back what you paid to register. Remember we do not "take" the steem, we use it to get Steem Power leases from the market. That is how we are able to support so many members. When the price of steem goes up again so will the upvotes, you registered at a good time when the price of steem wasn't doing that hot. You will make it back even if you choose not to go for the subscription.
Thank you @qurator for understanding :) Will you be able to estimate the T1 and T2 "new" upvote values before the new system goes live?
We are planning to get around 30K steem power for the new account. Then we will have to see how many T1 and T2 members are active for the week. Then we can work out the new averages. It will be more than the current upvote (if steem price stays at this rate)
Trust me, we are trying our best to make it better.
If we keep it on the old system then we will have to let about 20K steem power go. That's already a massive decrease in upvote value
