Wonderful post. You talk about everything that was going on in my mind ever since the HF19.
Yesterday I posted elsewhere on this platform that it was exciting to see the value of my very small account almost triple. The SBD on all my comments, for which I am yet to be compensated, also increased. That was surely very exciting.
As I haven't yet published a blog post and am still focusing on comments, I have noticed that 10X votes is showing its effect on the upvotes a comment receives.
People with no knowledge (or who don't really care) of how this works are exhausting their voting power, upvoting a few comments on their posts.
The others who are more aware, are making their upvoting choices carefully.
Thank you again for talking about this. I haven't really paid attention to the voting system prior to the HF19, but now I'm all ears and eyes.
