So I've heard that there are some perks that come with hitting the 500 Steem Power mark. One particular one being the ability to have a sliding scale on your upvotes so you can change the power of an upvote.
I was at about 250 Steem Power and with Steem being on sale this week dipping down to somewhere around $1.50 I decided to pick some up. I bought a little over 250 Steem to convert to Steem Power and that tipped me over the 500 mark.
So my understanding is this. We're allowed 10 upvotes at 100% power. What this sliding scale from my understanding allows us to do is vary how much power we give to our upvote. If I really like a post I can upvote at 100%, if I like but don't love a post I can upvote at 50%, and if I just kinda like a post I can upvote at 10%.
I'd heard people talking about this but never really knew what it meant so figured I'd make a quick video showing other minnows like myself how this slider works.
