I had not at all considered some of the reasons people have for not upvoting such as how much liquid HIVE one had, or what percentage a person had delegated out. I'd usually let my liquid Hive buld until I'd save 100, then use that to power up and invest in dividend-paying second-layer tokens to bring in more HIVE to augument the small number of upvotes I tend to receive per post.

Same with delegating out to places that offer a HIVE dividend. After reading this post and some of the comments, I powered up most of the 38 HIVE I had and swapped the HBD so it wasn't just sitting in the account. I currently have 1,278.697 HP with 856.684 delegated out (again, just to help with the few upvotes I get). I see some comments saying to keep it around at most 50/50, and will be working towards that going forward. If I had more upvote support, I wouldn't have to delegate as much out i order to compensate and could shift that to HP. However, I do like to support deserving projects such as theinkwell for instance, with my delegations.
