YOUR UPVOTE IS NOT A LIKE IT IS MORE THAN THAT

When we come to Steemit we are not really sure what an Upvote is. We come from other social sites giving out likes that really mean nothing in the whole scheme things. An Upvote is not a LIKE. It is way more than that. Your Upvote influences the rewards members get.

If you are going to just Upvote everything you see then your vote is worthless. You are meant to strictly only Upvote content that you really like and has value and in this way you influence and reward the content creator you vote for.

You need to manage your Upvote

Your vote has a value starting at 100% as you vote the value drops. When you stop voting your Upvote value strengthens again.

So what does this mean?

It means if you make too many daily votes daily your vote becomes worthless and becomes just a like. You lose your influence.

Manage your vote power and don't let it drop below 70% as it takes a long time to generate.
