Agreed, we mustn't accept short term gratification at the expense of Steemit's long term sustainability. Or, to put it another way, don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. I think new users don't have access to the vote power slider, right? I'm pretty sure there's some minimum Steem Power you need to have to get that slider. But it might help if everyone had access to that so that even little accounts could still choose to vote often if desired.
