Steem Power is a great tool, it allows you to give more visibility to your posts and those that you follow and upvote. I have yet to power down and look at steem power more as social media capital that eventually allows you to post the kind of content you really want to without concern for what is hot and getting the most upvotes. The other nice thing about Steem Power is it allows you to show your commitment to the platform. People often watch how much Steem Power a person has and if they see them constantly powering down assume they are not that invested in the platform. Its your right to do whatever you think is best with your Steem Power, but keep in mind some important eyes may be watching your commitment to steemit.
The nice thing about rewards is they are divided into a 50%/50% option allowing you to claim half of your rewards right away without having to power down. I personally cash this out consistently as I get it even though its not much it helps supplement camera equipment purchases and photo editing pc builds. You can see people who may get 100 or 200 times more for posts than you do and it can be kind of discouraging. I learned a long time ago not to compare myself to other users for this exact reason, it might discourage me. I like to look at the more positive side of things. Knowing that I am getting something for the content I create which is more than can be said for the majority of social media sites that make money off of you. If you have a passion for your content and want to get it noticed spend time interacting with the community.
