I feel fortunate just to receive a vote considering I am not of the elite who attended Steemfest and my posts are not about Steemfest...I did mention Steemfest in one of my posts though so Steemfest still got some Steemfest coverage in my post about Steemfest despite me not being at Steemfest...
Come on, don't be like that <3 You know it's not "elite". It's just a happening. The people who attended this year may very well not go next year, depending on where it's held (although I hope that's not the case). And it's not just about SF... It was a great chance to meet people, many whom I look forward to reading even when they stop posting about Steemfest.
I know not going sucks, but I think community-wise, it was a good thing :)
:)
That was just my Aussie sarcasm emerging. I usually rein it in where possible. It was a good post though as I think many people hold their vote back despite really liking what they read.
Someone else commented about your post saying that the vote is simply a show of appreciation. I agree.

Oh, I know you're a big softie at heart, dude <3
And you probably saw I don't agree :P It is true, I believe, in part. But for a lot of people, these money actually mean something. I know a lot of people who hope to live off steem someday (I know, with these markets, but still...) and I know they care about that vote.
I mean, if you upvote my post at 1% or such a small upvote, well, you appreciated it, but obviously not enough to lower your precious VP. It's like saying you're going to help a friend, but only if it's in your way to do it anyway and doesn't take any effort on your part....Just my opinion :)
I'd never vote with no actual money...I mean I have enough SP to vote with money so I can I guess. Many people don't. But still, I agree with you. I was just pointing out that a vote is a show of appreciation I guess.

Oh no, I agree, I'm not talking about the new users who don't have the option, naturally. I mean, it only makes sense, then, but...you know, there's a lot of people who could vote with money and don't and I was thinking about them ;)
You're using Partiko, I see. I've heard a lot of good things, what do you think about it?
I use it sometimes, more just to see if there's a comment so don't miss it. It's ok, a few things I don't like but it means I see comments generally. I think they may develop it more and it will improve.
I still use Steemit mainly.
