"platform is getting more popular and more people and coming on board to use it"
This is amazing! Because even though you know that your power is lowering, its good for the future of Steem. The more people in the Steemit community, the more active buyers of the Steem coin, boosting the price. So yes your votes are low now, but in a couple years, you will be laughing at the $1.94 price that Steem is trading at currently.
