It may look like a small addition, but I think it's important. Here's why:

  • "upsteem" is closer to the name of the site, it's not voteit.com, it's steemit.com
  • "upsteem" will make it easier for people to understand what's happening when they are clicking that arrow - it's not like they're electing the content in some electoral college, but they are driving away steem from the rewards pool
  • since voting is such a common activity, changing the name to be closer to the site name will help with brand awareness
  • it will make the site stand apart from other sites which are using appreciation input and create an identity (just like "Like" is almost a Facebook patent)
  • it will give people a nice, personal touch: the self-esteem goes up

If you agree, let me know in the comments. If you don't agree, let me know in the comments as well.
