I care about the pennies!

I often see some sort of comment or post about how no one cares about a 1 penny vote or even a few cents. I suppose I could see how some don’t really care but I do. It lets me know someone took the time to upvote and considered it worth while.I also power up most of my earnings so those pennies give me and those I upvote the power to make even more money. Those pennies add up after years and I am grateful for them.

I also remember starting about a year a go and there were a few of us who started at same time and we all had penny votes but now many of us have 20-30-50+ cents votes. I always try to upvote good comments and I often check to see who upvoted my post and go look at their work and upvote them even if its some 25 sp account. I tend to take interest in content I like/people I like and not based on the power of their account.

I see some who havent been here long sometimes express complaints about “my quality post gets no votes” and I think the part they are missing is it takes time to grow here and effort. It’s still a “social” network so being social and part of community even with those penny votes all help you grow. I took part in a DLIVE curation stream from @themarkymark and used the chat feature while stream was going on and gained a few followers. I happened to delegate some VP to @hashcash and he mentioned me a few times and that gained me a few followers. Some of those new followers upvotes me for pennies and some for more but they were all gained from social interaction not relying on someone to blindly see my posts in “New”.

So if you have a penny vote or even a multi penny vote, know I want it :)
