Replenishing My Voting Power Is Tough

in steempower •  7 years ago 

My voting power used to be very low that I couldn't vote anymore. I have been trying to replenish my voting power, but it takes time. From what I understand, you can get 20% voting power back per day.

The hard thing is that I like upvoting all the good content that I see. Until I get back to near 100% I'm using the app on my phone to let me use the voting slider. I will probably get near 100% in about 4 days from now. Until them I am trying my best to still upvote all the good quality content I find here.

One vote drains 2% of your voting power, so if you vote less than 10x a day it will rise slowly. Or you wait 2,5 days (from 52%) until you are back to full steam. Concider that also the value of your votes declines with the voting power, so you upvote something with low VP but it has next to no value.

Very helpful beatminister. I'll definitely keep this in mind.

@beatminister - Your comment was helpful. I'm new to community. Have my upvote sir.

I know!! I think it is forcing everyone to hoard their upvoting, not in a bad way , just to get their super powers back. My few cents didn't mean much other than a small thank you for taking the time to share something, and sometimes just the idea that you read my words, I always use to tip for commenting, but you're right, it's a task to get back to full power!!!

Thank you very much friend. Yeah I'm now actually down to 50 percent now lol

I love to upvote too and found it is hard to refrain?!

Yes, it's very hard to refrain. Too many good posts out there.

Going to take some time to adjust and understand this approach to using your steem power.

Agreed. I'm contemplating a possible strategy on how I'm going to use my voting power. Sometimes it's good to give it a rest. But then that awesome post comes along and you just have to upvote it...haha!

Yes lol I do so well conserving my voting power and then I see a post that I can't turn away from.

Same here, it's not easy to resist upvoting a good post.

I agree. One strategy when your power is low is to resteem your favorite posts as a show of support.

Very nice. I'll keep that in mind.

I know, I got carried away with upvoting and steem power went down and my earnings also went down.

Yes, it's very tough because there's so many good posts out there.

where did you go to see your voting power?
