Is @steem-ua supporting ALL of the STEEM community or is it preferential to the utopian-io community?

Post EDITED:

Thank you @scipio for kindly stopping by with an answer. Please read below and come to your own conclusions.

Original Post

Being an infrequent poster, I noticed quite a difference between @steem-ua’s upvote on my latest post and the one prior. My post was ranked #463 out of 471. I was rewarded $0.02. Hey, I’ll take that!

Per @steem-ua:

Your UA account score is currently 4.266 which ranks you at #2573 across all Steem accounts.

Your rank has dropped 4 places in the last three days (old rank 2569).

My last post received $1.01.

Being curious if there was a change of logic, I stopped by their Discord room to ask if the bot is broken or if their upvote logic changed.

The question was asked today and I haven’t received a reply yet. Perhaps someone will get back to me later?

If something intrigues me, I start researching!

By looking on Steemworld, I noticed that Utopian-io posts are receiving the big upvotes. Many of them are translation posts.

Utopian-io posts are highlighted in yellow.

Non-Utopian-io posts start around 3% (ish) and depreciates to 0.01%

I’ve only delegated 100 SP to @steem-ua but would still like to know where my SP support are going. From my understanding, users from @utopian-io do not have to delegate SP to receive an upvote. Do we all have equal stakes in the algorithm or is @steem-ua skewed to the Utopian-io community?

I only joined @steem-ua because @abh12345 wrote about the project in his posts. Last I checked, @fulltimegeek had delegated 50,000 SP to the project. Today, his delegation is no longer with @steem-ua.
