Very interesting question. Here is the little experiment I ran on resteeming... I looked and saw how many upvotes the post had before I resteemed it and then checked an hour or so later. It is far from scientific, but I found that resteeming did not really do any good. That may be just me, I do not seem to be really making friends here. I have been considering delegating half my SP to my husband so he can give me a bigger upvote as he is really the only person who consistently does so. I tried joining discord groups, I got into thealliance and qurator, I started posting less... I make more money if I throw up a picture than if I actually work on a post. It is right in my face, too. I pour time and effort into a post, make a quarter. My roommate throws up a fuzzy picture and a couple sentences on the same topic, people love it. When MY cow had a calf, she made more telling people about it than I made with the video documentation. Hard not to take it personally, and if it is personal than my husband is the only upvote I will ever get... Rambling, sorry.
