How can someone upvote me, but not increase the post value? I have upvoted post with a $0.00 value somehow. Did they just not have any funds? Will they still get a % of my 1¢?

I'm new and haven't gotten many upvotes, so this is perplexing. My goal is to somewhat lessen my burdens IRL. HIV in a non-legalization, non-medicinal marijuana state for example. My medication(that keeps me non-contagious) is around $3k/month... I get it through a program though, so I don't pay nearly that. A personal steemit goal is to supplement my income for a life changing move to another state. Either for the healthcare, or the atmosphere. Preferably both. Idgaf if you think I'm a charity case right now. At least I'm not spreading HIV to you and the masses. I'd assume that's worth at least $1 smh
