You're also ignoring the fact that placing many small votes shows others that you are reading and interacting with their posts
Hahahaha Look that you're hard to peel my steemed @lexiconical. I totally concur with @fitinfun here!!
The only way to show & prove that you are ACTUALLY READING an user post is by commenting. Commenting with meaningful, eloquent and coherent words close related to their content.
There is no way possible that a vote means or guarantee to anyone that you've actually READ their posts. Especially, when everyone and their cats here observe daily the increasingly awful and gross amount of blind & brainless votes casted & exercised by that same legion of illiterate Bots.
In my opinion, if you don't vote at full 100% of your VP at anything that you previously has read from top to bottom and you like what you've read. It's just a plain waste of everything!! }:)
"In my opinion, if you don't vote at full 100% of your VP at anything that you previously has read from top to bottom and you like what you've read."
This makes no rational sense whatsoever. Why should a user who reads 10 articles and a user who reads 100 be required to arbitrarily stick to the same number of votes per day?
So, what, you want to restrict what other users can do? You are against there being a vote slider for people who DO want to use it?
If so, you basically want centralized control over what others can do, and want to enforce that your way is the right way. That would mean you are in the wrong spot.

I notice that you like to use the word rationality very frequently and yet it looks like you find it very elusive. ;)
Please, Do not insist on confusing the word READ with voting. R-E-A-D is exactly what I DO!! And I READ way more than 100 articles daily. And only vote at full 100% all those that I like & support. And almost never I exhaust my voting power at all.
What you clearly must be doing is VOTE. And obviously through an army of Voting Bots behind you it is easier sprinkle atomized and insignificant votes to more than 1000 articles if you like. But the way you express yourself and approach this subject, there is no way you can convince me that you even read 10 articles thoroughly from top to bottom in a day. ¡No way! You clearly are busy engaged in other bizniz.
No one wants restrict anyone from doing anything. With slider or without they can do whatever they please. But the MAIN THANG here is ¡R-E-A-D! before vote. And once they have done so, then consciously vote as they please. ¿Note the difference?
I am against using tools BRAINLESSLY, UNCONSCIOUSLY, BLINDLY and without RESPONSIBILITY. And that's exactly what I observe every lazy-ass, illiterate bum with a few extra coins within their pockets, who clearly refuse to READ a damn in here, but even so, call themselves curators and always are quick to claim that they not have time to read but anyway they care the minnows and they always shows support to the community by simply rummaging that damn voting slider back and forth once they have obtained it.
There is ONLY one place to be in the wrong spot. And that is, when you are wandering around without have been turn on your brain once that you've gotten out of bed. }:)

"But the MAIN THANG here is ¡R-E-A-D! before vote. And once they have done so, then consciously vote as they please."
I never argued against this.
All your responses to me are thus irrelevant.
" there is no way you can convince me that you even read 10 articles thoroughly from top to bottom in a day."
I don't care about your baseless and inaccurate speculations. I probably read at 3x the speed you do.
"who clearly refuse to READ a damn in here, but even so, call themselves curators"
I do read and I didn't call myself a curator.
I wrote a post to argue that minnows should have a vote slider if they want, just like everyone else.
Do you even know why you are here or what you are arguing for? Because, I don't think anyone else does.
"I am against using tools BRAINLESSLY, UNCONSCIOUSLY, BLINDLY and without RESPONSIBILITY."
Good, find a post where someone is advocating for that and complain at them.
Maybe you should read the original post more closely next time.

I end up with about 10-16 votes a day and make them count as best I can - all the rest is commenting with no voting. I feel like people appreciate that and will continue this way for the time being. Once my vote is over $1 at 100% - I might think again.
I know people who vote many, many times a day - stay at 505 power maybe - and neither side gets a reward. I think the voter is wasting time and the author just shrugs when seeing the vote. No interaction at all.
Thanks for the boost. Loved your comment @por500bolos

"and neither side gets a reward."
The reward is mathematically proportional to your VP. Continuing to claim this is false and demonstrates a lack of understanding of the mathematical reality involved.
It is also 100% contradictory to the whole basis of your argument above of "monetary relativity":
"so you have a different concept of relevant money than I do."
Your argument is internally inconsistent.

If someone votes 30 times in a day and gets only 5 rewards for that day - what happened to the other 25 votes? This is what I see repeatedly with little minnows.
I'm in the third world - a small amount of money means more here than it would in the first world. This is the relevance factor I am describing.

You are very welcome my dear @fitinfun.
Yes! I guess that unless your full 100% vote gives at least $100.00 you won't need to think anything again. You are just using you VP as humanly & cleverly as it should be.
Smart comments, wise engagement and conscious interaction is the king here!! :)

Explain how your completely arbitrary line of $100 above, provided with no evidence, is not completely inconsistent with the argument you are trying to agree with of "monetary relativity":
"Well, you do not live in the 3rd world, so you have a different concept of relevant money than I do. I was raised by a scottish lady and learned to pinch the pennies to make the dollars count."
Your entire position is internally inconsistent, and leads either to no relevant conclusion, or the conclusion of trying to control other's activity. I care for neither.
