I understood total upvotes also boosted visibility? If so, then your upvote might keep the post on trending long enough to be spotted by a whale.

I don't know about that @mattclarke, maybe.
I do know that if steem goes from .50 to 5.0 those numbers that got dropped just became relevant.
I haven't gotten a good answer as to what exactly the numbers mean, the number created by this link: http://steemdollar.com/dollar_per_vote.php?name=freebornangel is subjective.
Your vote will almost certainly not be that number when you vote it, it can vary greatly both ways depending on a lot of other data.
All I'm asking is a good reason not to do the math to the tenth decimal and include the minnows a little more.
For instance, if the math was done those upvotes on your comments would actually get included rather than rounded down.

I thought it didn't count anymore towards trending, and that was now purely rewards based.
(This comment should have nested here, don't know how I screwed that up.)

That too! Voting impact is zero in that situation. Why would they even bother?
