The contradictory thing is that many things were previously simply forbidden by the State and then nobody did them, but now, many things are indirectly prohibited by the "group" or "society" in which you find yourself, and if you do, you risk being the omega male of the group and be set apart as an asocial individual.
I believe that these "prohibitions" or group pressure will never change, the best we can do is be ourselves and look for a different group that appreciates people like us.
As the society becomes more complex, there are more and more areas for new social norms. However, as @citizenzero pointed out well is his comment, the intensity of social norms may be decreasing over time.
I agree with you, we should be unique in our own way and look for a group that accepts as in that way.
Oh, when will I reach the time when my vote on comments will be worth at least $0.01? I feel a bit awkward when I upvote someone's comment and he gets nothing at all. : )
Your Steem Power is 9.078 Steem currently, when you reach 50 your vote will be $0.01, although I warn you that giving that is not very accommodating lol...
But with the pace and quality of your publications it will be quite easy for you to reach that number, probably this month, if you don't do Power Down before.
Edit: If you enter Steem Now you can know your voting power, if you click on the small calculator you can know how much you need to give a vote of X dollars.
Thank you very much for the explanation and the link! I would upvote your comment, but... :D
Do you happen to know does my current upvote give any value (for example $0.002) to the author, although it's too small to be shown in the two-digits format?
That is exactly what happens, as your vote is less than $0.01, then it is shown as $ 0.00, but it has a minimum value, that is, from $0.001 to $0.009.
In fact, Steemit delegates an SP of $ 27 to create the account, for some reason you have only $ 12,617, maybe someone gave you a flag? Well, adding that with your 9 you get to 21,696 SP, which is enough to give a vote of $ 0.01, but only if you let your voting power recharge at least between 95% and 100%, to 94% you can not anymore.
Currently you have a voting power of 58%, if you can get the SP 50 that I told you, then you will get a vote of $ 0.01 having a votying power less than 50%.
Thanks again for the clarification @vieira, much appreciated!
I'm also confused by not having +27 SP as most new people do. I don't remember anyone flagging my posts, their value never really went down (apart from the standard, very minor fluctuations).
It says "Your delegation amount can fluctuate" in the wallet, but I can find no explanation about the possible reasons. Alas, it is what it is. Cheers! : )
