Check out my post:

https://steemit.com/steemit/@freedomshift/last-minute-self-or-bot-upvote-voting-within-x-12-24-hours-of-the-end-of-active-post-period-of-7-days

It includes a link to an old post that shows how votes are used to reward people. It also has my questions about "last day voting and the people that call this an abuse - no one cared to answer my question.

Thank you again I will.

Check my post about trading for STEEM to power up - I finally did it @ 263 - 268 STEEM / ETH.
I have powered Up and my vote is now worth much more: $0.11.
All the best!
