Thank you, this helped me understand the voting and convinced me to get back to voting and commenting. Looking at percentage, not actual numbers, that makes sense. Visiting Steemit has been a part of my day since I started, then for two days I couldn't interact at all, no way to even ask a question! My 'mana' was in the minus billions and I didn't know what mana was!

But now that I'm following your advice and started interacting as I usually would, my numbers are growing, not depleting, and I'm feeling a lot better!
