RE: Some Newbie Tips for well… Newbies!
Yeah, it's not the value, it's more of the principle. As in, what harm does it do for them to vote regardless of the size.
I do agree, a good comment is worth it's weight in gold. For those people I tend to advise them that it can be seen as spammy but in the nicest possible way.
The ones in question that I really hate though are the ones which barely relate to the post and are just some generic words slopped together angling for a random upvote on said comment. I find them offensive. Hehe. But I can be a gnarly character.
And who doesn't love a whopper! :0D
A generic comment on my posts is likely to get nothing, but I really do not get many of those. The spam rate on Steem is much lower than I might expect given there is a chance to earn from it.
With redfish/minnows they do not have a lot to give out in votes, so I am happy if it goes to people who need it. I have been encouraging that as part of #TenKMinnows. I tell them to not vote on my posts, but they still do. That has no bearing on what votes I give them.
It is indeed low now. My opinion stems from the time the steem price was high and it was a massive problem then, people were creating many many accounts to farm comment upvotes. If I recognise someone then I am not so fussed. I only get gnarly when I don't recognise the name but I recognise the behaviour.
