Finding my voting sweet spot 2

https://steemit.com/curation/@beanz/how-to-find-the-sweet-spot-on-the-voting-scale-an-experiment.

So I am participating in the experiment and i will also be upvoting my own post which feels odd but hey that is the instructions. I looked at my current voting power on https://steemstats.com and i am starting this experiment at 99%.

I added a nice picture to improve my voter appeal.

You don't need an excuse for a self vote ;) Just messing, let us know how the experiment goes.

94.9% now. Says for 4 votes in 24 hours on steemstats. Feels like i voted more than that but I guess it must count up the 25% that I use on comments until it reaches a full vote?

I am back up to 99.5%. I am in China at the moment so I paused curation to sleep .

I have Steemvoter upvoting my own posts after others have had a chance. I also use it to support a few people. Otherwise I set my votes to give a fair amount to posts. I don't watch my voting power. I have the voting slider, so I can vary my vote.

Yes that is what I do too, but mainly because I didn't know of the existence of of steamvoter which i guess is the voting bot that others referred to. The original post by @beanz and this chain has really increased my knowledge of voting. Thank you all for comments

So 25% strength gave you a whopping $0.20 (i know! dont thank me, it was nothing really. No really). I am now at 99.19%. So apparently I am a slow voter or a fast re-generator. I prefer the latter. Time to go vote on some posts and use full strength.

People say it's okay to use up your power. It's there to be used and will always regenerate eventually.

True. That would appear to be the mantra of @liberosist who advocates voting all the way down to 10%. His (forgive me on gender) mantra is that although his own voting power may go down his followers will bring the power of volume to the content writers. Seems fair enough. I have followed a few people and gathered a few myself for which I am humbled. Perhaps our team will make a difference too one day. And upvoting your comment at 25% brings me to 94.91%.

As long as my votes give something I'm not worrying about it. SteemNow shows you what your vote is worth

It seems by posting i automatically get one vote. ie mine and my voting power in now 98%.

There's an automated 100% upvote box that you can leave ticked to upvote yourself when you post.

Ah thanks. I guess I should have noticed that. Also the voting power google plugin that @waphilip gave us in the comments on your original post is working. They are automatically updating on my profile now. The plugin took a few hours before it started working.
