High Voting Power, What to do about it?

Just lately my voting power has been getting high. Why is this? Because there’s little to vote on as people are posting less.

That includes me, not due to lack of interest but because I want some of my life back.

HF21 has not yet arrived and we are still unsure whether ALL it’s ‘features’ are going to make it but it seems people are preparing for what is to come and the writing has lessened.

While this is not surprising given the state of the STEEM price vs any other coins and the slippage in the charts, it presents me a problem.

Who do I vote for?

Curation trails are something I have never been interested in until recently. I added myself to the #tenkminnows one hosted by @steevc at just a 3% weight and so that solved some of the problem.

But still, the voting power has been hovering around the low 90% region. It’s happened before but not to this extent, so what to do?

Find some big Dolphins, or small Orca’s to circle jerk? Hmm, well I could but I really can’t be bothered and it’s hardly doing the platform any good is it?

I have several Steemians on an auto-vote so I could increase their vote weight?

I would rather spread them out more and I like a certain amount of manual curation even though I don’t comment as much as previously.

Someone wrote about how many articles there are about STEEM on our block-chain (it might have been @steevc) and that from the outsiders perspective, you may as well be reading another language.

Well apologies, but this is yet another STEEM piece of writing. Mind you, I do tend to get more feedback with this topic than any other and that is because this small community is very tight knit.

Does it still have the enthusiasm it used to have? I would say for the most part yes it does.

The hard core brigade are in this for the long run and I count myself as one of those. If you want some inspiration then have a look at @exyle’s posts.

SMT’s have now been mentioned as the priority task. We have heard all this before, but I have seen StINC delivering more in the last few months and I believe it is going to happen.

SteemMonsters is taking off in a big way and I for one have been buying cards like the clappers. The prices are increasing especially for the Gold Foil ones.

I check them daily and grab anything that seems a bargain. It could be a foolish move, but if you don’t take any risks in life then nothing will happen.

Developments are happening and all is looking rosy except for the declining price of the token. I would suggest you wait this out. I know I am.

So back to the original problem of who to use my Voting Power on?

I started following another curation trail, although it may only be temporary. Who better than @curie to follow.

At least I can be sure that my votes are going to decent writers. If you’re in the same position as me then at least consider doing the same.
