RE: A Theory.
Would be an interesting experiment to run. I know I have gotten where I am interacting with newbies for the most part. The few interactions I have had with whales, they generally don't upvote my stuff, just comment.
As for self-upvoting, that could be worked into the transition out of having extra votes. When you reach a certain level of influence, your extra votes go away and self-upvoting becomes automatically disabled. I think that needs to happen anyway. It seems a MUCH bigger problem to me to have the whales upvoting themselves. And I just do not see the slider bar you are talking about! Yeah, I am blonde but a fairly clever blonde, but missing something here!
You get the vote slider when you are near 500 SP. However, if you use it right away, your votes of course will be worth less, so you must make a choice... keep giving 100% votes at 4 to 5 cents each or drop the amount in order to give more votes. I prefer to keep my vote value as high as I can since the value is already so low. The trouble is that I run out of VP too quickly and can't give out as many votes as I would like to! Anyway... I have a way to go to get my slider, so in the meantime I'm always running out of vote power.
I THINK busy.org offers a vote-slider to all users, so you could use that portal and have a slider now (I may be mistaken). Unfortunately, I find it a bit non-intuitive to use, so I continue using steemit.com as my portal to the blockchain.
With the price of Steem at close to $1, it seems that your vote is worth roughly 1 cent for every 100 SP.
Thank you for that explanation! I knew there was something, was very fuzzy on exactly what.
You are most welcome!
Glad you got your answer!
