Personally I think it would be better for you to keep your SP and follow the trail or something. We do want you guys to grow and earn steempower, like if everyone powered up all of their rewards (from the numbers I am getting from Lemouth) then it wouldn't take long for the number (that 408,000.000 SP) to double and give or community way more, we just don't want the only goal to be for users to think this is a paycheck and as soon as they get a payout to 100% powerdown.

I mean if everyone followed steemstem at say 20%-80% then they would still always have SP to vote with along with being able to help out community members. But again it isn't all about voting either, there are so many ways for people to engage (voting, commenting, helping people out, giving tips/hints, making content together, etc) and when very little is done in the long. And yo by no means have to comment on every subject either, stick to the subjects you know like there is no reason someone with a background in biology should force themselves to comment on a post about the quantum nature of dark matter but that also doesn't mean that the biology person shouldn't interact with other biology posts, if they can.

Like a perfect example is maybe a post was written well but some of the information in one part was iffy, you know it was a little confusing with how it was written or maybe they wrote a leading hypothesis as a fact. Another person with experience in biology could come and comment something like "Hey I noticed you wrote [enter blockquote of something they wrote] and I was wondering if you could expand on it a little. It was a little confusing how yo wrote it." or for the second part "I think it could be better phrased this way."

Maybe the person is a new user and they don't know how to format a post so someone could come along and tell them some formatting tips. Like there is so much that could be done, in my opinion
