LOL... Like I did... The voting power goes down from 100% and thus when you upvote it is worth less than 100%, which effects (or limits) your curation potential, as I understand it. In other words, yesterday when I added a good chunk of steem to my steem power I noticed each of my upvotes gave about 3 cents (0.03) and towards the last ones they were a penny or so. So I'm trying to detox from upvoting to let it recharge. Did you watch the video? He does a great job going fairly in depth.

BTW, if you look at https://steemd.com/@vgc5000 you will see you are at 100% strong.

I want to go find the other video I saw a few days ago, implying at one point to upvote everything and you get more yourself. That was from a guy who has been here several years and is an even bigger whale. I'd like to ask him, especially since Brandon doesn't seem too keen to reply to post, despite saying he does. That limit of 10 or 11 upvotes/day, which I think is very limiting, could be one of the many things that has changed here, such as this new feature they seemed to add yesterday which appears to break each comment conversation into appearing as if it's it's own post thread, which to me seems a bit strange and I'm not sure how much I like it. Brandon did say that once you have, I believe it was, 500 steem in steem power you get a slide bar option to adjust what percentage you give to different one's you upvote. Thus, you have more ability to give more weight to the content you like the most. So many complexities...
