Relative posting frequency.

Member A has 10 shares but posts 10 times per week. Member B has only 5 shares, but posts only 3 times per week. Which member should receive more upvote value on each post?

Member A:
10 shares * 0.012 per share = 0.12 per week
Divided by 10 posts = 0.012 per post.

Member B:
5 shares * 0.012 per share = 0.06 per week
Divided by 3 posts = 0.02 per posts.

Make a little more sense now? Share count drives weekly value, but members post at different frequencies, so their per post value can seem disconnected from share count. (FYI this is all explained in the posts that we link in the 'Questions' section of each update)

Hey @steembasicincome so basically it does not matter how often you post, you get a weekly value anyway :)

I'm also wondering, I have started to upvote your posts because I learned this is important as well. I upvote with 100% and upvote all SBI posts from now on. Can you tell me how this effects the upvote strength?

That's right; it does not matter how often you post (as long as it's once a week- but that restriction will be removed with automation) you still get the same value.

Currently we look at what % of updates received a full upvote over the past 28 days. You receive that % bonus to your upvote value. So the bonus would start small and build over time until you are receiving a full bonus. That will also be changed with automation, so we recommend reading our recent announcement:
