My six days as a dolphin have come to an end. Thanks to @krnel for allowing me to get a glimpse into how I will act with a $1 up vote. I’m happy to say that I wasn’t tempted to use my upvote any differently. I self voted at a rate of 3.63%, even less than I planned, as I only made three posts related to community initiatives. I upvoted 278 times on 127 unique users, many I know to be quality contributors and many who I was not familiar with.
As usual, (and this is all rough estimates) I tried to make less than 10% of my support for users larger than myself. Around 20-30% went to large minnows close to my size and the rest (over 50%) went to smaller minnows. This is essentially how I will be using my upvote when I actually have this much SP of my own. If I ever reach whale status, I would like to 5-10x the number of unique users who i upvote, but for now I think providing a substantial support to users who would make great community oriented dolphins is more important than dispersing my upvote between hundreds and hundreds of users who are just starting off.
Accomplishments this week
the #nobidbot tag has taken off, this was due in part to a few very influential people on the platform liking the idea but having a substantial upvote to support users of the tag certainly helped. This tag is turning into a kind of organic Trending/new page and it’s worth checking out!
The Deadpost Initiative had its best run in months and seems to have a rekindled interest with an upvote display of over $13 plus $4 sbd donations and 86+ comments. I was also able to upvote $0.25-$0.35 on each submission which is something I would love to continue doing so all participants can be rewarded.
#steemitzombies didn’t really have much action but I hope the popularity of #nobidbot can help prop up this initiative as well.
rewarding a ton of great users who really deserve more love on the platform.
There were many posts and users which I did not have a chance to upvote but who certainly deserved it. I hope to be back to 4K sp soon so I can! x-D
