RE: Should people not preserve their voting power and upvote the posts with the highest possible voting power so that the posts, which they had upvoted, would get the maximum profit?

Voted for

  • Other.

I think that everyone may do whatever they want with their own Steem Power.
Maybe some people don't even know about how the voting power works.
They should be educated about it, but some people are adjusting their voting weight/strength at the time of voting, so they are willingly not giving 100%, even if they have 100% voting power.
The declining of the voting power does not really matter to some people.
Some people have more valuable upvotes at 1% than the most of us at 100%.
Imagine that you are a whale with 1 million Steem Power.
If you have 100% voting power, and you upvote something with 1% voting strength, then you still give $0.14 with your upvote even with these low Steem prices nowadays.
The price of the Steem is approximately $0.25 USD nowadays.
When the price of the Steem will go up, then everyone's upvote value will increase.
If the price of the Steem is $0.25 USD, then you can buy 1 million Steem with $250 000 USD, so nowadays you don't even have to be a millionaire to become a Steem whale.

Yeah, but the value of up vote also declines with the voting power. 1% up vote when one's voting power is 100 percent is more valuable than the 10%upvote at 25 percent voting power. So, the voting with low voting power may become unfruitful for the vote receivers.
