Same same same! I've found myself thinking about the same thing while reading someones post and liking, wondering with what percent I can upvote. But I do think most of us have been upvoting a lot of Steemfest posts with big percents, and found that the VP is draining much faster than usual. I'm sure everything will start to settle soon and then we are once again trying our best to find something good to upvote.
I’m definitely struggling mightily after SF in the VP department. I have my regulars prior to this trip that I dish out to regularly but now there is a whole new slew of folks that are deserving as well.
I honestly don’t envy the bigger accounts at all for this. Yes, while their wallets are bigger...they have more mouths to feed. It’s so difficult to balance and definitely takes some practice and juggling and even sacrifices.
I’m hoping to have an absolutely killer holiday season and to unload a lot of product. If that happens I’m going to be filling my Steem bags with as much as I can to help in several departments including what my upvote is worth. I’m in for the long haul regardless so the low prices currently are a blessing to me. I’ve also found that I take it a bit more seriously if I have some of my own skin in the game.
Exactly, and you have to somehow keep them all going, because that's what SF was all about, growing the community and meeting more people (and obviously, it worked great, since here we are, complaining about it :D).
Just what I was thinking while writing this. I would not want to be in their place right now. I mean, I have trouble dividing my whole 7 cents, I can't imagine doing 7 dollars :))) or 70! Good Lord...
Man, I love how into the community you are, how very invested <3 I mean, I don't think I've ever met someone who was so passionate (and so early on) about this and I just love that!! It's very helpful, particularly in this shitty market!
I try to keep that in mind whenever I check them, which is less and less lately :)))
It’s definitly a juggling act. I’m trying to be active daily with the voting but it’s so hard with so many good people and pieces that I see being put up. It’s going to take me quite some time to adjust to numbers that work. Argh!!!!!
Good point! But still, it seems that we've made a lot of new connections at SF and I think we'll want to keep encouraging those people, in which case we must definitely find a balance. Lately, seeing my VP at 80% makes me feel golden :))
