I just found out you shouldn't do that... I'm still pretty new to steeming, and I been upvoting like it was going out of style! Apparently that's now the best way to earn curation rewards. Which is a shame, cause I was having a blast. I felt like Oprah. "You get an upvote! You get an upvote!
There is a great post here that explains what's up, if you're a noob like me, it's pretty informative.
Read that post here:

And while you're at it follow @dantheman
And make sure your vote matters, but most importantly, get out there and steem!
i still like to go upvote crazy lol

You can repair some of the damage done by going through your comment history and unliking comments you've left that haven't received additional upvotes.
You also shouldn't upvote most of your own things (even blog posts). On occasion is alright, but not often.

Thanks! I'm going to have to keep digging into it because I feel like my grasp of the concept is loose at best, but I didn't even think about how upvoting my own stuff dillutes my vote... So thanks for the heads up.

No problem at all!
I made those same mistakes. But I've been here for just a week and a half, and I'm pretty damn happy with my growth so far.
Feel free to come hit me up if you have any questions. I'm not an expert, but I have learned a lot since joining.

You've also been here substantially longer than the whales I've learned that from.
Ultimately, it's one of those things you have to read up on and decide for yourself. I personally believe it based on what I've observed and the quality of other information from those users.

I don't even care if that reduces my voting power, that gets an upvote. Thanks though, I just read up a little on hf19, and it seems much more equitable. I didn't know anything about slide voting either, so that's collateral damage to my ignorance I guess.

WHEN you get a slide then you should worry about vote power, and not before..you'll know it when you see it.
