HF 19 update took place yesterday as you all probably know. The point of the update was to establish equality in the steemit community; where quality posts will become more visible and not be overshadowed by the flippers of the Steem whales...
Well as you can all see, the update happened and all off a sudden our post's expected rewards sky rocketed! For the first time ever, minnows finnally had a voice due to the dramatic increase in voting power.
There is however a catch. Upvotes are worth much more, but the amount of times you can vote in a day has dramatically decreased.You used to be able to upvote ~40 times with 100% power, but now you can only do it 10 times a day at full power, which is due to each vote being 4X as strong. After these 10 upvotes each upvote will "cost" you 1 percent of your power.
Call me a pessimist or what ever you like but the way I see it is that people are now starting to get cheap on their upvotes and bank up the power, what causes small hard working, active minnows to get left behind and not get any upvotes for their worthy posts.
Is the future of Steemit left in the hands of 10 upvotes a day and mostly self voting with these upvotes, thinking twice if I should upvote any posts even though I liked it, scared of losing my upvote power?
I really hope not.
If you guys have any other perspectives I would really like to hear them right now, feeling like the minnows are not getting equal rights but getting left behind.
Special thanks to
