Threats so soon? I haven't even recovered. Haha I came right before the HF and had no clue what happened to the voting power percentage. And I think A TON of newbies came then also. No idea about the percentage dropping. Unfortunately, Steemit's not the most intuitive about that part.

I'm only at 70% and that's after basically not voting hardly at all for three days. It hurts not to vote but I'd like to get up to 100% so I can vote better.

I really don't think, or at least I hope not, people are just voting for themselves. I hope they're like me and trying to get their percentage back.

But maybe you're not talking about newbs as newbie as I am. Cause my VP went only to two cents after HF. Haha
