Woah! That vote was worth 56 cents! Obviously, my votes are worth more on posts that already have votes on them. I didn't know that before. When I'm the only vote, the best I could do was around 40 cents. The algorithm is so unfair. A vote should be the same regardless of what others voted. Everything is set up so that the rich get richer and the poor stay poor.
The voting mechanism works on a parabolic curve so more votes in a post also means the vote weightage also increases.
Btw I saw that you are making around 7 SP per week from your curation. That is very low man.
If you can delegate your SP to me I can give you 10 Steem which is equal to 10 SP plus one 100% vote per day.
Does it sound good to you??
I really need more SP
Thanks for that information and offer. I'm not sure what I'll be doing in the next while. I may get out of Steem for a while and try some other coins. I have never made much from curation and wonder how you do it. I imagine it comes from my voting on accounts that don't get large rewards. But I'm not voting for the curation, I'm voting to GIVE people my vote and I feel better giving my votes to those who are not already getting a ton of big votes. I realize that most people here are simply chasing money. I'm chasing a dream. I know I could make more by voting on the "fat cats", but that isn't part of my dream. I hate how this system is set up to reward those who already have so much and each time I am reminded of that, I want to quit and walk away. However, something keeps me here and I'm not sure what. I keep dreaming that one day I will be able to make a difference and help those who truly do need it rather than stuffing the pockets of those who are already filthy rich. I feel I have come a very long way from my start with nothing and it feels good to be able to drop a 40 to 50 cent vote on someone. I don't wish to lose that so quickly I guess.
I may need to pause my activity on here over the Spring/Summer. That might be a good time to delegate some SP to you.
