Fifteen minutes before HF19, I was at over a 90% vote weight. 30 votes were available to me before I crossed the 40 vote threshold.
Not knowing how HF19 would pan out, I gamed the voting system in the last 15 minutes before HF19 kicked in.
I used up all my remaining votes & voted for every comment on all my posts including the good post , follow me, I'll follow you ones.
SteemStats.com tracked me at about 70% voting power with all 40 votes used up, once I was done.
The please upvote me; please follow me comments, irritated me the most. Most of these comments, are from newbies feeling their way around Steemit.
Then I remembered,
About eight months ago, I too was one of them.

After HF19 went live, I was pleasantly surprised that my 3 cent vote to some minnows had become 16 cent votes. Not much; but, 16 is better than 4, though.
Does feel good to add some extra value to newbies.
Steemit HF19.
So far.
So good.
