How much impact do you expect your up vote to have?

Let's check out a recent post I just put up as an educational example:

Then look at the stats on this post by going here:

Put in my username in the upper left and then click on "posts" next to "recent activity." Then you'll see the post tittle and click on the round circle with the horizontal lines in it to get stats on the post.

Then go through and look at all the up votes made on the post and you'll see that the vast majority of the money on this post ($10 when the vote came in), all came from one user @xeldal who has a LOT of SP, 374,190.369 to be exact.

Now, if you click on the post I just sent you, you'll see how much additional value you'll add to the post with your vote. I suspect it will be around $1 or so given the amount of SP you have, but you can see for yourself when you vote.

Now here is the interesting thing, the more people vote on this post who have reasonable SP, the more money that is generate from each vote. So you can generate more revenue for someone on a post when you vote late in the process, but you get less in the way of curation rewards when you do that as well, unless a bunch of whales and dolphins pile on after you and vote up the content even more.

That all make sense? Hope it was helpful!
