Becoming a good steemian isn't just about making good posts, cos steemit is more than just a blog. The community aspect of steemit is maximized when we take out time to comment on peoples posts as well as to upvote the "good posts".
Commenting on posts draws you closer to the authors of such posts. A lot of authors appreciates it when you take out time to read their posts, and even better when you add value to it by leaving a comment with your thoughts and/or opinions about their post. Your comment can also get upvoted and you earn even more curation rewards. It's actually a win win scenario.
Upvoting is also extremely necessary as it helps in sorting out the good articles from the bad ones. If this is true, it means upvotes should not be abused. Only a good post ought to be upvoted. Upvoting a good post also helps you gain curation rewards.
But does steemit have a built in way of stopping people from abusing upvotes?
Of course it does. Presently, you can only make 10 upvotes a day with your vote weight set at 100%. Though it should be noted that irrespective of the percentage of vote weight, the value of votes differ from individual to individual depending on how much steem power the individuals hold.
So what if you have more than 10 posts that deserve upvotes, what is the way out?
The esteemapp comes perfectly suited for this scenario. It comes with a voting weight slider that allows you to adjust the percentage of your upvote weight so that you can upvote more articles.
For instance, if you adjust your voting weight to 10% per vote, you'll be able to upvote 100 posts in a day.
The esteemapp is highly recommended, try it out and you'll thank me later...
I hope you could learn a thing or two from this post?
Kindly upvote, comment, and resteem.
