RE: Witness Update - DragosRoua
The reason was: "we won't display anything in the UI that could lower sit engagement.". And having voting power displayed could probably lead a user to a more conservative approach towards his / her own voting power. That's what they said, anyway.
I suppose there is some sense in that, except that most Steemians I know are already very aware of their voting power already. For some it is important, and for some not so much. For me, I hate seeing my upvote do nothing to the reward value, so try to at least keep it at the $0.01 level (which happens to be around the 80% mark). I am also quite glad I don't have the slider on Steemit yet to water down my votes.
Asked the same question, did not see reply here :) There might be some logic in their words but only in a case with new users. In our case we are just made to go to another website, check our voting power and come back. Honestly saying I don't support this decision.
