Greetings @naturalguy.

Here's how it works.
Your vote is 0.01 and in steemfollower you get 0.0100 or smth like that everytime you vote someone. You can multiply your steemfollower points you earn of your vote by using the promote part where you use more of your vote power and your post gets more visivility in @steemfollower . So bu having more vote power you have the more points that you will get.

My vote power is 0.04 and that means 0.0400 to 0.0499 in steemfollower which can be changed through increase and decrease of steem & steem back dolar prices. Also it can drop to 0.03 if i use to much of my vote power.
I usually use 20% of my vote power voting good content in steemfollower and busy.org so i stop around 80% or 85% and wait for it to regenerate again even though its kind of a pain lol.

Those people to whom you are seeing 100.000 points they have huge power. For example 10 dolars vote that means they got 10 points per vote and thats 10.0000 points in steemfollower. But dont forget that you can vote 25 posts a day and they can also multiply it.
So by using for quite some time they gathered lots of points and they can recieve high amount of upvotes in return through @steemfollower.

They also have many followers and some of those followers could have been with good vote power or medium or low like you and me it doesn't metter so it could be of any kind of vote power which means if their followers who signed up through his referral link have good steem power the guy who invited them gets more percentage from those he invited in steemfollower just like you earned few cents in your referrals but if your referrals had more steem power you could recieve more percentage as a reward for bringing more people in Steemfollower...

I hope you understand because its a bit complicated writing it down like this...

I still sometimes do not understand it completely but i understood the best part i guess....

If you have any question let me know. If i have the knowledge i'll let you know...
