I got to know about this early this year when someone advised I make sure my voting power stays above 75-80% because it affects my weight too and since then, I don´t think I have ever been above that except below 70% and this is because I follow a lot of curation trails because of the belief that I will get higher curation rewards. Lol
I had to go check my hive.vote and unfollowed some because I assume it is what keeps draining my voting power even when my power on posts is sometimes at 25% and 50% and rarely do I give 100%.
I think this method I did tonight will help boost my voting power so my weight can have a meaningful value on posts.
