RE: Vlog 439: Hardfork 21 is here! Steem.DAO is filling up nicely. Steemians cast their first downvotes from the new pool.

It has to do with the new reward curve. It used to be linear. (1000 SP being worth twice as much as 500SP whenever or wherever (post or comment) the vote was cast).

The reward curve now slopes up slightly first and then turns linear later.

To get initial rewards started you need more SP than before. It's introduced to incentify better curation on posts and combat abuse, but voting on comments has indeed taken a hit because of this.

I have noticed this myself too. I had to increase my vote percentage on comments. I will, therefore, be more selective which one I choose to upvote more than before.

Aw. That's a real bummer. Upvoting good comments is a big part of my "rewarding" strategy.

I'm going to have to totally rethink this then because I'm not going to be able to give many comment upvotes that are above the dust threshold. I may have to stick with upvoting posts since my upvote is more likely to be one of many in that circumstance.

Or I may give up the blogging side completely. Engagement was already down massively and this will only make it worse I think.

I'll see what happens over the next week or so.

Thanks for the explanation. 😍

For some reason I thought I needed at least 500 SP to be able to give a up vote of at least $0.01 but I am able to do that now with 463 (50 delegated) is that something new or have I been wrong about the SP limit all this time?

I believe what you mean is that you need 500SP to get the 'slider' bar to chose voting percentage.

ah, ok - thanks for the help

Wow I thought I knew what to expect from this Hf but did not see this part.
It is all about selecting good content then !
