How do you use your voting power?

hirohurl 21 days ago

I don't count how many upvotes I give on the days when I am actively engaging with posts. I also upvote comments. Apart from that I am on a couple of curation trails, such as the one run by @bradleyarrow and one or two others as well, I think.

I am a weird one but I have, for my whole time here, manually upvoted every single post ever! Sure I may have missed out on some profit by pressing the upvote button thousands of times but I value my personal connection with the blockchain, content and authors in my network.

It's actually nice to see people who favorise manual curation over profit optimisation :-)

In light of the current situation, it’s very important to vote manually as much as possible, even if it sometimes feels like dust in the wind. I try to do so myself, but I also have auto-voting enabled for trusted people through the Hive.vote fanbase — and you guys are among them. After all, I feel like we’re all in the same boat.

I believe it's great to vote for good content but there is definitely also a factor that we should also vote for the people or the projects that we want to help grow on hive. By allocating our voting power like that, we can help define how the hive of tomorrow will look like...

I do mixed of those method only without the curation trail.
When my power was still small, I think joining curation trail with only limited percentage is kinda a waste of voting power, but maybe I will change the strategy in the future when my power grow, and also with the time limit that I have now.

I use curation trails when my voting power is above 90% to avoid losing on curation rewards.

I do a mix. I have automatically configured some authors who have been doing a great job for a long time, and I just follow the HiveBR (Hive Brazil) track.

In addition, I have configured peakd votes to 15% for comments and 25% for posts, and so I cast manual votes with these values, always trying to distribute as many votes as possible to unique people.

It's a great thing to spread our votes to as many people as possible. This democratizes the chain!

Strictly manually, no curation trails. These are one of dark holes of the ecosystem.

I am checking my feed and go through new posts, upvote and comment. Full upvotes always, 100%!

I tend to agree that we give a lot of power to curation trails. I only use our own with liotes.voter because I know exactly what posts and what authors we are voting on.

its a mix of curation trails and manual curation.

Vote for your post... :)

@virtualgrowth votes manually on thirteen posts daily (at this time).

Due to $GROWTH token rewarding posts tagged #cent, #ecency, #inleo, and #neoxian (and #virtualgrowth) three of more posts are voted daily mostly picked from trending. Mixed with manual curation of followers, posts about Hive, and other things (tags / topics) in life.

Good day! In my case I try to vote manually as often as possible. Of course it's hard to cureta all time 24/7 and as so as I'm not always online I use hive.vote fan base. By the way it's time to refresh it.
Also till almost last days before service was shutdown I delegated part of my HP to @tipu But now I undelegated my HP and looking for better usage of my HP ;)

You can always delegate to liotes.voter ;-). You get a decent return in LEN tokens and we do manual curation with ourpick.

I prefer to vote manually. And I aim to keep voting during the day until I drop below 70-80%. But I also subscribe to some curation trails. In case I don't have time to vote manually. For those trails, I set my lower limit to 90%.

Generally, I don't vote on comments. Because my 100% vote is below the dust level ($0.02). However, if I read a great comment that has already been voted more than that, I will add my vote.

I like to vote on comments but it's because my HP allows me to do it without falling below this dust level. You are right about that. A lot of people ignore it and they forfeit their curation rewards...

That's why I support @dustbunny, and I hope to delegate more soon. Also, I plan to add @commentrewarder as a beneficiary when I next post.

Until recently, I cast all my votes manually. Now I have switched to a mixed strategy: I use Hive.vote for authors whose quality I trust and community projects I like, and I reserve a portion to support others. I have also tried different vote percentage settings, and now I almost always vote at 50% to spread my support more widely.
I don´t follow any curation trail, I prefer to choose who gets my votes.
When the next hard fork happens, I will see if I need to readjust my strategy again.

I think that this is a good mix, so that you don't miss out on curation rewards.

Votes of 100 percent would only be given out manually. Although I do have some individuals on autovote, I've tried to cut back to manual votes as much as possible. When voting I look for quality material that interests me that the author put a true effort into creating. Many times it might even be material that I normally wouldn't read but for some reason caught my attention. In the end there is no true formula or method to the madness. I curate the stuff I like!

I think that it's not really possible to use our voting power in a totally rational and mathematical accurate way. There needs to be some 'madness' lol

I vote everything manually. When my mana above 95% or sit at 100% I will vote with 80-100%

Else around 60-80%

And I do not follow any trails

It's a good idea to index your voting power to your voting mana.

I have some people in my list of auto votes, mostly authors that I trust, but I keep reviewing the list. And I do manually posts. I don't like curation trails, even if I trust in the intelligence of a curator, maybe I won't agree with some votes... the best person to decide what I think it is fair it is me!

I mix between manual and automatic (following trails). If I were more active on Hive, it would all be manual.

It's also normal that we can't spend 24/7 on hive and to use automatic upvotes for the times we are offline.
