Thanks for your answer - I find it an interesting discussion and I am trying to help out here, as I really enjoy this platform.

Consider this analogy: say you're writing a post: "hey guys, you can earn bucks by shaking the right people's hands" and ten people come to you and offer to shake hands with you and you say: "thanks, I appreciate it" but you don't shake hands.. It's just a really ironic thing to post :)

I understand you have small voting power. I have too, but I feel generous with it, even when it wasn't worth $0.01 I upvoted good posts, and certainly replies to my posts.

But everybody's free to use his/her voting power as he/she wishes of course. So, take care and enjoy!
