RE: A few random thoughts
Yes, my voting power never seems to recover from the abuse that I give it. :-)
Most days lately it starts out at around 35% and I burn it down to about 23% or so. I start out with my upvote worth 4-5 cents, and it's usually around 2-3 cents by the time I'm done. I do it anyway because I do a fair amount of curating posts most nights and I read a lot of posts that are worth upvoting. I figure that I don't have much value to give them yet, but I can give them something anyway.
It's my understanding that voting power recovers at a rate of 20% per day. Even at 90+% I'm still only giving out a penny per upvote. I've been being a little stingy with my upvotes lately to try to keep my voting power up. I generally go through my feed and upvote followers/following posts first, then look for new posts from people I haven't seen before to upvote, then upvote comments if I have enough voting power left and am burnt out on reading through posts.
That makes sense to me. It's as good a way to do it as any.
