Many users have complained that with the new 4x voting strength, they are running through their voting power too quickly. Absent the slider to control the strength of votes, many users are only voting on 10 posts/comments per day, so they do not 'run out' of voting power. The "10 votes per day" is a fairly misunderstood concept, so I wanted to help clear something up.
I will demonstrate how below. This is a little simplified to demonstrate the concept, but it does work out even with the more complicated math.
After you start voting forty times per day, you will end up casting forty '1 cent' votes. This is the same as if you were casting forty '1 cent' votes before the HF. If you want to cast only ten '4 cent' votes per day, that is entirely up to you - but you are not forced to. Forty '1 cent' votes is an option too.
My suggestion is to not get too bogged down in the details of the math, curation rewards, and voting power. Focus on engaging with the community and voting on the stuff you like.
If you find 10 good posts/comments a day, then great - vote on those. If you find 40 good posts/comments a day, then even better - vote 40 times. The system will automatically adjust to your voting behavior, so that you can vote how you want.
