RE: Pondering Changes to Steemit URL Organization: Part 2 - Prior Post is Broken on Steemit...
I'm pretty sure that when I was reading up on tags recently, it was stated that the first tag would be part of the URL. Not sure if that's a recent change though.
I used to integrate a lot of links into some personal sites and I know it didn’t utilize the tag at that time, but that was months ago and I might not have noticed a change.
Playing around, it seems you can still enter URLs without the extra tag directory and it finds the post via Just author/post, but redirects to the tag directory URL.
Maybe I’m making too much of it, just found it interesting!
Totally unrelated, but I'm wondering: I just recently built up enough Steem Power that I no longer have any delegated steem (which, I'm assuming, everyone is given enough to have 15 SP to start). So, yay! Except, previously any upvote I gave, as long as I was above 50% power or so, would be worth .01. But now, my upvote is worth 0.0 at 100%. Any idea why that might be?
(Also, I'm very surprised that no beginner's guide to steemit seems to mention that you start out with delegated steem power. That I ever saw, anyway.)
Best guess is that you were borderline awarding .01. However the $ calculations that show are a 3 or 4 day rolling average of Steem value. So, since Steem was falling you saw your vote $ amount decrease. It’s having a great day today, so as the average trends up, your reward should as well.
Second, your vote $ amount is dependent on how many other people are using their voting power. Imagine no one voted for a week. The first person to break the pause would see their single vote, regardless of how much SP they have, give out the entire rewards pool! As others voted after, the payouts would spread evenly again.
I only bring this up because the Steemit corporate account has been sitting on a lot of SP that they do not vote with, thereby giving everyone else a stronger vote than they normally would have. Recently Steemit has begun delegating big chunks (a couple million Steem) to deserving projects. With this SP being actively used now, you could be perceiving it’s effects on vote strength as well.
