Prior to this change, I was a little reluctant to upvote #technology tagged posts, since they were often not really STEM, even though they might have indeed been "technology," broadly speaking. With this change, I'm not as worried about those upvotes anymore.

The way I see it, is if someone posts about some new technology, even though it's not strictly STEM-related, and they get a smaller STEM reward, this is a type of promotion for stemgeeks.net. If they want to earn more, they might look into it since they get rewards in their wallet.

At that point, the author might be more likely to use stemgeeks.net directly. I like the "rewards as promo" model, to a certain extent. I think this change aligns well with that.
