I don't have a lot of SP, and at 100% it's only worth $0.12 per upvote, regardless of this I try to spread it out and give high votes on occasion, or spread it out through votes of 23% that give $0.03 per upvote. It isn't much but I try being fair and give as many people who engage on my content votes without running my voting power meter into the ground.
I haven't actually read any posts by whales, or looked into them. At the moment my main concern is engaging with those who want to engage, and take part in earning something for engaging with me. Whether it be a whale, dolphin, minnow, or shark bait, everyone is the same to me.
We are all but words on a screen.
The amount isn't important. The fact is you read, engage and discuss. Even if its 1% on your slider and worth dust, its the engagement that matters and the manners in acknowledging someone taking time to read the post and commenting thoughtfully. Again, whether you agree or disagree with the comment isn't important, its the debate and engagement.
I like to name names, so take a look at this, the comments and the list of upvoters and compare to all her other posts. The people who big upvote never comment, her general fans that do, no upvotes for them. Its exactly this kind of 'member' of the old boys network Im talking about.

People will engage with you, perhaps cos youre running competitions but then it gets personal. We maybe words on a screen, but the fingers that type the words are flesh and blood ;-)

Ah I see your point of view now, personally I try to read and reply to everyone who engages, as they are taking the time to come here to engage. They are giving me a part of their limited resource, time, the least I can do is give them the same in return.
Thanks for the link, I'll look through her blog a little later once I'm done reading the new comments on this post.
Haha yes I can't argue with that, there is a physical being behind the words that a lot of time, people overlook or pay no mind to.
