What you say is true. However, I seek to use my SP in order to provide the greatest benefit to the community I can. It's actually a tossup between voting more, and voting harder. I try to vote harder, to grant the greatest reward I can. It may not actually be the right way to go. I dunno.
But I reckon that most folks want that.
Regardless, I used to vote freely what I wanted to upvote, and when I was voting 100+ times per day, my VP became vanishingly small. Took a week to get up to full power =/
That became a sort of training period for me, exercising my willpower to not vote when I wanted to. I guess we form habits thereby.
Well, for me, my full power could be worth 15c idk. I'd rather spread the votes. Only real solution is more steem power, methinks (edited)
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, sorry.
And, you have been the recipient of my very first vote with the slider! Hopefully, I can get my VP back up soon, and still be able to vote in the meantime. It's gonna take a few days, I think. It's below 70% atm...
Dang auto correct
You are absolutely correct, however, my location makes cell phones a hit and miss affair. I sometimes don't get texts until the next day, and constantly miss calls, because the coverage is so poor, so I haven't even used eSteem.
I have the slider now, so it's moot for me personally, however, the issue still affects ~98% of accounts, so it remains of vital import for all of us, as it dramatically affects retention of new accounts. The dearth of votes available to them is so discouraging I am amazed anyone persists after more than a day or so, after the initial orgy of greetings from their introductory posts.
This is sure true. I think some illustrations would help people envision how it works also. All the various influences on rewards really should be better, and authoritatively, explained, and not only for new users. I am sure that I yet misunderstand, or incompletely comprehend, such intricacies.
Great idea, too!
