Why doesn't Steemit change how they pay out on comments? Seems pretty logical to pay out the comments which are most useful as determined by an algo which takes into consideration the author as well as upvoters. The author could have veto power, and say whether a post was worthless ("good post brah") or useful, and the upvotes would then determine the size of payout.

Can someone explain the difference between delegated steempower and steempower? We're still confused on that one. So when you power down, does that remove both? When you upvote something, does that mean your delegation steempower goes down??

Last thing: does this mean if we do NOT sign up for Steemauto, you won't be upvoting our comments!?!!
