Thank you for answering I appreciate that a lot. I do understand better, the steem power is infact very important and it is the foundation to a better reputation. I still don't understand how my rewards could go down and how a post can be closed down due to bad rating while having many upvotes. I suppose many of us are still early adopters and need to find their best content to provide in other words what people will find interesting and valuable, the more attention the more votes. Hope steemit goes well for you

Cheers
Rose.
