When we come to Steemit we are not really sure what an Upvote is. We come from other social sites giving out likes that really mean nothing in the whole scheme things. An Upvote is not a LIKE. It is way more than that. Your Upvote influences the rewards members get.
If you are going to just Upvote everything you see then your vote is worthless. You are meant to strictly only Upvote content that you really like and has value and in this way you influence and reward the content creator you vote for.
You need to manage your Upvote
Your vote has a value starting at 100% as you vote the value drops. When you stop voting your Upvote value strengthens again.
So what does this mean?
It means if you make too many daily votes daily your vote becomes worthless and becomes just a like. You lose your influence.
Manage your vote power and don't let it drop below 70% as it takes a long time to generate.
To check your voting power download the Steemit Voting Percentage Extension [UPDATE]: View Time Until Voting Percentage Hits 100% a really useful Chrome extension developed by Dayne Wright @daynewright
Manage your Upvote, make your vote count.
