But then, why would anyone buy steem to increase their voting power? There has to be some return on investment.
My strategy is to save a number of votes for myself and divide the rest up into 5% or 10% votes for posts and comments. If something is very good it can be anything up to 100%.
I am tending more and more to agree that the new system is somewhat skewed at the moment, but it is what it is.
If your vote is worth $8 how many people are going to want your votes...That's where the return comes in. and it still annoy's others to vote for yourself
"That's where the return comes in" - can you explain this more fully? Are you saying that people with low value votes are worthless?
So, how much money have you invested in steem, and why do you upvote your own posts?
I didn't totally understand how the more vested accounts worked. Your way makes sense for whales, My way makes sense for minnows
