I honestly do not think I would change. I would still vote primarily at the 50% level, and still for 15-20 post a day. I have a few people I give 100% votes to, and everyone else gets 50%. I am always happy with any vote I get, but not all votes are the same. I may not be "happier" with a big vote, and then again I may be. If it is a vote from someone I follow and like, or from someone that is known for being nice, yes I would be very much more happier with a big vote from them. (I once got a $10.00 vote from @grumpycat, I kind of miss his views and view points on steemit).

So being able to give out a $1.20/$2.40 vote to the people I follow, the tags I follow, I think that would be fantastic. Yes I could lower the percentage and spread the net wider, but I like the tags I follow, and the post under those tags. I do save some votes for new post or people I have not voted on before, but spreading the vote to thin is not me.

Lets say a small town needed a new water treatment plant, it was a town of 30,000 people. Building this treatment plant would cost 30,000,000 dollars. Someone with big pockets give every resident 1,000 dollars to build the water treatment plant, but they do not need to use the money for that purpose, it is just suggested. Do you think that $1,000 in hand now to fix the bathtub, or the car or the what ever, would not out weigh the water treatment plant?

I know the tags would end up being flooded, but I would be careful about the votes I gave out. When I run real short on Vote Power I have dropped to 25%, ant that is what it was asked for the #tenkminnows boosting post. Featuring 20 people at a time that would be 5 full power votes, a pretty good guide to help build and still leave votes for my regular accounts.

So I guess, no real change in how I do things, I just do not think I would have time to find more that the 15-20 post a day.

"Do you think that $1,000 in hand now to fix the bathtub, or the car or the what ever, would not out weigh the water treatment plant?"

I think the $1000 would be used for other things than what they had in mind initially, but I still think it would be a superb gift. It would help them tremendously.

I can totally see your reasons for not spreading your votes too thin, I have the same thought as you on that one. I want to reward users as much as possible, I want my votes to count. I appreciate any votes I get, but honestly speaking, seeing those 0.5% votes from whales, is kind of annoying to me. And it's not because I am lucky to receive one occasionally, it's about the actual voting pattern.

They could easily throw in a 5% vote instead of 0.5%, and it would instantly become a decent worth that people would actually benefit from. Imagine a 50% vote here and there. It's a huge bonus for authors and it boost confidence and motivation. People get encouraged and excited when they receive upvotes like that.

I'm glad you already have a good plan laid out for you, that would work no matter the size of your stake.

There are only so many hours in a day, I would rather give a $10.00 vote to a photo or post I like than have a bot give a vote to something that I would never in a hundred years give a vote to. I know the vote bots have their place and that is fine, me I value my vote, I guess the people that vote sub 5% don't really care what they vote on as long as they get a return on what they see as Their investment. Nothing comes out of a persons wallet unless they send steem to someone from the wallet.
