RE: Potential Payout Changes with HF 19 Launch

in #hf19 • 8 years ago

That's true. But then when people get the vote power slider, many go the other way and just put 1% of their vote power on everything -- and have almost no effect again. But that's part of what makes Steemit interesting. There's so much going on, it's like a whole ecosystem.

    That is interesting. I haven't reached a level where the vote slider has appeared, so I hadn't given any thought to that side of the equation.

    Is there any benefit to the voter in reducing the vote power like that?

    YES! I got a "meep."

    Why does that make me happy?

    It's just that it lowers the rate of using up your voting power. That means you can spread more around to more posts or comments. But each vote is then worth less. Some folks go crazy and set all their votes to 1%. But that means they would have to vote 400 times a day to use all their vote power. And they don't. So they just leave unused voting power in the payout pool, rather than distributing it around.
