Well, each vote has an higher value now (I hope I didn't misunderstand this point) so people tend to "keep their money". Then I might be completely wrong, if so, would be great if somebody could clarify this point.

Ohhhhh i got you. Yeah that actually makes sense. So wait does upvoting and commenting cost ME anything?

It does NOT cost you anything. Simply you want to keep you power for yourself or for some people you constantly follow instead of upvote an interesting post by a random person. There is nothing "wrong" in this. It just kills the Steemit principles considering that the focus moves on the people (I upvote xyz because I know his post will be popular, not because I find it interesting) rather than on contents.

Ah ok i see. Thats really good to know thank you(:
