I'm lucky to have learned and happy to be sharing! I really had no clue and it totally baffled me. Trying to spread my votes to as many worthy Steemians as I can was voting comments at 1 cent for quite awhile, now I know better and will do better. All we can do really.
I do feel bad for those that cant adjust their votes though, this rounding down does seem like people will have to rely on the higher ups even more to get a footing in the Steemiverse.
Thank you for your comment Zippy <3
