One question is running through my mind right now - how best to split the vote. At 100% of the value or divided into fractions, starting with 10%.
This dilemma started after I read some posts of my friend @acesontop in which he stated several times that he votes only with 100% of his vote. That's right, I can testify that he does.
The problem is that I do the same, I came to this choice without realizing it, naturally and now I wonder what the reasons are for this choice.
Of course, not the same ones that @onealfa had when he decided to do almost the same, giving up 10+ hours a day of daily manual curating. A lot of work and, of course, which can become tedious.
That's how the notion of "TORUK" came and the big vote from @onealfa. Daily prize for the best. I think @onealfa wants to stimulate the activity and quality of LeoFinance posts and it's just a reward that the best blog or comment can receive. It's a reward for the rich, I don't say that because I noticed that, I say it based on my logic that urges me to think like that ...
The best posts, the ones that bring value and good quality information can come from the most experienced, who receive the highest rewards anyway because of their recognized value. By my logic, the less experienced and skilled can still receive the highest vote for a special comment, this is easier to do because a good post can provoke a good comment.
I repeat, I don't make these statements because I saw the blogs that received TORUK's visit, so not from an analysis of the facts. I'm trying to check my logic, to see if it still works.

Apparently, the reason I vote only 100% would be two: laziness and low value of HP or LP.
Of course, when you have a very high vote value, it is normal to divide the vote as many as possible. Working 10+ a day is unusual and I don't think anyone does it anymore, only in Leo Finance something like this can happen and that explains in a way the success of this community.
Elsewhere, the vote thus divided is divided automatically and generally pursues other purposes.
Coming back to me, I'm not really that lazy and I don't get bored easily but I can't (and because of the not very good English I know) read more than ten or twenty posts a day. Consequently, I don't have to vote several times so as to be forced to split the vote.
Many times the vote is given on the basis of reciprocity and I know colleagues who calculate quite exactly the vote they give to be similar to the one they receive. That reminds me of an incident with a good friend. An incident that shocked me!
One of my best friends, although we see each other quite rarely, we have been friends for over 35 years. Much younger than me and ... a millionaire! In a difficult period for me he helped me a lot, he hired me in two of his companies and he helped me get through a few years with problems. I am grateful for his support.
What happened.
When I celebrated my birthday, my friend gave me a pair of headphones as a gift, we are both music lovers and listeners. When he gave me the gift he told me that he chose to buy me a pair of relatively modest headphones in terms of quality and price because if he had taken a more expensive gift from me, without any effort for him, it would have meant to force me to make him an expensive gift when it will be his birthday, which I could not have done.
I was shocked, although I didn't show it. I would never have thought of this way of reciprocity (especially between friends).
Of course, the years spent in business, meetings and negotiations changed the way he was (in our youth we were almost as poor).
This incident made me wonder if this way of calculating the value of one gift based on the financial power of the other to do the same in return is correct. I thought it was normal for it to matter only how much the giver could pay, because the joy is as great for the giver as for the receiver.
I think because of this event (of course, left in my subconscious) I like to vote only 100%, regardless of whether the recipient is "richer" or "poorer' than me and, fortunately, I notice that there are many in Leo Finance who do the same!

Oh! I almost don't know what to say. Maybe you wanted to show me I was wrong. Thanks a lot! Not necessarily because of the value of the reward (which I am not used to) but because I received attention and proof that I am being read.

I always read the stuff I'm voting on. Always.
Sometimes hundreds per day.

Enormous, especially if I think that English is not your current language (I mean I think so). It means that you are a good connoisseur of English.
I think that sometimes we appreciate others in terms of our strengths and it's difficult for us to understand that others have other qualities and can be much better than us.
I didn't doubt that you read the posts before voting, now I understand that you read hundreds to choose what you will vote for. Thank you!
I exceeded 1000 LP (mostly bought) and set out to reach 2000 LP in the spring but now I hope to reach this target much faster than I thought. Of course, with your help, I gained confidence.
I like it, Leo Finance becomes addictive!

You deserve it.

Thanks a lot if you believe that. See, it's a big surprise that I was chosen by @onealfa for such a big vote, because I somehow write between Leo and Hive, that is, to be able to be read in Hive, where I continue to be active and touch on topics that are match the themes admitted in Leo Finance. In time, after gaining more experience and knowledge, I will address more specific topics for Leo Finance, about crypto currencies and finance.

This is actually a bit tricky, I mean, if I had the same stake as @onealfa.leo, or any of the other wealthy accounts, I would upvote more content at less voting power to spread the tokens as much as possible in an attempt to strengthen the community..
However, while that is basically how I reason regarding this, I totally understand that I can do the same with the stake I have right now as well. I mean, each LEO that is being distributed is a good thing and votes at less voting power helps spreading the tokens to more users, instead of just spoon-feeding a small amount of users everything I can.

Agree! LP matters a lot in choosing how to vote. This was certainly the reason why @onealfa shared thousands of votes every month, to strengthen the community and motivate members to be active. Because of this, some communities are more alive and others sometimes seem asleep. To do this you need to know and want to do it in the hardest way, but with the best results.
Our smaller votes also matter and our work together leads to the progress of this community. I hope it continues like this.
It is not good to feed only the big fish because it gets fat and sick ... very good video!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is actually very true. A much better idea is to feed all the fish, as we are all in the same pond. Eventually, instead of starving to death, the little fish will grow into stronger and bigger fish.. Which will benefit everyone.

Yes, that's right!
In a perfect society this would be the case.

Although this issue is a little controversial for many people, @bluemoon... I think it is all very simple: reward according to your own criteria.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Of course, the simplest. The most important thing is to do it!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hmm. Ithink voting value isn't much important. The important matter is that how much readers read my post and that's always appreciates me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, it is important but you will see that you will also appreciate the votes received.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I do that because I have low VP and also lazy to upvote too much around here.
These are also my main reasons.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
because i read and comment on a lot of posts i want to reward them with something. If i used 100% of voting power then i wouldn't be able to do that. So i give just a small amount to everyone even though they deserve more so that's why i try to steadily increase my lp to provide better upvotes!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Of course, this is a desire of all to increase the voting power, for now, with what we have we must carefully choose what we vote for. I do that. I still believe that the voting power conditions the way we vote.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I switch it up, but will give at least a 20% upvote when I make a comment. I give 50% upvotes on the comments I get in my posts. I don't do 100% because I want to be able to spread the little bit of love I have a bit further.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Of course this strategy works for you now but it will probably change once your voting power increases.

Interesting story about your friend. On a perspective it is a fair game, as he does not want you to go out your boundaries on the other way around, a gift is a gift, no need for reciprocity in this. If I give someone something, I don't expect it back, or at least this I've start doing in the past 5 years after hitting the wall hard. A guy I knew, had the wedding 3 months before ours. I was thinking also in terms of reciprocity and gave him a fairly large sum as a wedding gift. He appeared at our wedding, but he did not gave us a single dime, saying, that he forgot his envelope and we will met after that. Since than he disappeared. That was a good life lesson for me. Give as gift what you can and don't expect anything back. Life has more beauty to it since then.
On the vote topic now, I do randomly, from case to case. :)

I understood my friend, especially since I saw him apply this principle all the time, it is obvious that it is common for him. It is obvious that life in the business environment has profoundly changed him.
I was shocked because for several years we did not meet and did not notice these changes, in our youth we shared the same piece of bread and I did not think that I would be treated almost like a business partner. I wasn't upset at all and I understood that he couldn't tell the difference.
Yes, the event at your wedding was ugly, it's not about reciprocity, it's about respect and morals. From such events we learn.
