You totally did the quote and agree bit! HAHA!

There's an issue my brain keeps going back to. All those posts that minnows voted on that didn't get over the dust threshold...they basically lost their VP.

What happens if people start pushing the idea that if you're a minnow, you shouldn't vote on anything that hasn't been voted on yet, unless you can push it over the dust threshold? The minnow problem will get even worse here. Often when you're new it's only tiny little minnows and plankton voting on you.

Hell, to this day occasionally a large percentage of my payout is tons of small votes on comments. Although now I know all the minnow votes were just fucking disappearing if they didn't have someone with more power to back them up.

There is even some fun and useful spam. Like those stupid achievements. I kinda like those. I bet they make a lot less due to this dust threshold.

>You totally did the quote and agree bit! HAHA! I did. ...but, I did add something too ;) Also.. look how many damn comments I have had to answer... give me a break :P >There's an issue my brain keeps going back to. All those posts that minnows voted on that didn't get over the dust threshold...they basically lost their VP. Yeah, :/ I wish I had known about it soon er as I would have changed some of the advice I have given. >Although now I know all the minnow votes were just fucking disappearing if they didn't have someone with more power to back them up. The votes stack of course but, most comments don't get many votes usually. I am glad I know about this now though and hopefully more people will adjust for it. >There is even some fun and useful spam. Like those stupid achievements. I kinda like those. I bet they make a lot less due to this dust threshold. Steemitboard? I use that sight all the time for various numbers and Arcange has other projects ongoing too. Plus, you can stop it just by commenting stop.
