RE: Steemit proposal, get rid of the sliding vote scale entirely.
I disagree ... as it is 10 is too few votes.
With the slider, dolphins and whales can choose how much weight to give a post bringing the "cream" to the top and still supporting things that are good.
As a minnow, I'm rather disappointed that I sometimes see 40+ good quality posts in a day but I can only reward 11 of them if I don't want to lose voting power.
For example, right now I have to wait 4 days to vote at 100% again.
Besides that, downvotes cost as much energy as upvotes. This means if I flag abuse I'm giving up one of my 10 votes. You would think this would discourage downvote abuse, but instead people create bots to downvote otherwise good content in order to increase the pool for their own content (or people they favor)
I like it how it is now. Slider is good. And its also good that upvoting and downvoting is limited.
For me its perfect rules. Because its even.
And you can also just buy more steem.
