Fifteen minutes before HF19.....I remembered that eight months ago I too was one of them!
Fifteen minutes before HF19, I was at over a 90% vote weight. 30 votes were available to me before I crossed the 40 vote threshold.
Not knowing how HF19 would pan out, I gamed the voting system in the last 15 minutes before HF19 kicked in.
I used up all my remaining votes & voted for every comment on all my posts including the good post , follow me, I'll follow you ones.
SteemStats.com tracked me at about 70% voting power with all 40 votes used up, once I was done.
The please upvote me; please follow me comments, irritated me the most. Most of these comments, are from newbies feeling their way around Steemit.
Then I remembered,
About eight months ago, I too was one of them.
Hard Fork | Hard Heart
After HF19 went live, I was pleasantly surprised that my 3 cent vote to some minnows had become 16 cent votes. Not much; but, 16 is better than 4, though.
Does feel good to add some extra value to newbies.
Steemit HF19.
So far.
So good.

16 cents is waaay bigger than 0.04 😊 I see you are on 21.co and medium. Do you blog there as well?post the same posts?
21.co is monetizing e-mail, internet presence, not blogging. @luvabi

Yes, I blog both through Medium & Blogger.
Tumblr can give your Steemit post an extra leg.
There are lazy creatives & lazy writers.
No, I don't cut & paste post the same posts on multiple platforms anymore. In the end, that is taking a painstakingly built up audience and/or following for granted. Each post would be customized for the target audience of the particular platform. I do cross refer to the origin of the post.
So, post first on Steemit. Test market on Steemit. Get feedback & then the best content from Steemit on Medium.
16 cents feels like so much more on steemit
Yes, it does, kykek17
