Thank you @techslut for the insightful take on upvote shortages. Honestly, I've learned alot since I started and that replying and commenting on posts is worth more than just upvoting a post. Yes you may have alot of influence upvoting someone's post but they tend to pay attention to the people who take the time to write something about your post. I appreciate all the comments I get and I try my best to reply when I see it firsthand. This is a great post!
