I am seeing this more and more every time, its not what Steemit is about OR maybe you don't know about it.
You come to Steemit to:
Write your own posts,
Read other members posts
Comment on that post.
Vote on other members posts.
When you do this those members will usually come and return the favour.
If you don't follow these then members are going to ignore your posts, you are supposed to vote, that's how Steemit works. Oh and we can check if you have voted, we know when you have just commented. This isn't good.
Pressing the vote button couldn't be easier, really it only takes a second, it then gives the poster a little bit of earnings.
If you need extra help, this is what you are looking for. The green arrow, once click and your done.
Thank you @son-of-satire
Thanks for raising this issue, @karenb54, because I've been wondering what's up too. Wasn't sure if it was better to vote seldom so that the vote held weight or as often as I like a post. Was holding back, but based on this, I will vote as often as I feel is deserved. Thanks for clarifying!

I simply can't vote for everybody. I don't have 500 SP yet (soon :) so I can use the slider. I comment on maybe 30 per day and should only vote 10. It is just a choice I have to make. I get that it looks bad and I feel like a piker, but the ugly reality is that I just can't.

And I'd rather say when I like a post and look like a piker than just read it and move on. The whole truth with me at this stage is that comments mean a lot more to me than the 0.001 vote.

Like Karen & Adam have both said in replies to you - it's not about the money, it's about showing respect. The Catch 22 for you is if you make the choice to look like a piker, it can turn round and bite you in the bum. It's better not to comment, or at least to explain you are out of voting power, than risk being flagged. Because people are checking now.

We have all been there, a vote is still a vote. Its not always about the 0.001 you give its about voting. The slider comes to us all. Its best to vote or you will get flagged :)

See - someone told me today I should stop voting so much. I basically said the same thing as you @karenb54 - a vote is a vote. At .001 or .005 or .01 is it really a huge difference? I'd rather let 30-40 people a day know I read their content and liked it than be stingy with votes that are almost worthless anyway.

That's the way it works, as your power grows so does your vote. The Simple thing is it's a voting site how else are you supposed too grow on here :)

When I was brand new I assumed tags was the only way to really grow lol.. I actually gave up on Steemit for a while because I didn't "get it". But then when I gave it another shot I looked for some tutorials and went to people with bigger reputations and found lots of helpful content and advice.

If you vote from busy.org, which has all of your Steemit stuff on it including your feed, you can go to the settings and there is a slider you can use, even if you don’t have much SP.

Haha, it's actually really easy to do, which is why I usually hit people up about it, but don't flag, just in case it was a genuine error. I read your post, read the comments, put my 2c worth in on a comment, then thought "oh, did I vote?" Scroll back up.... Ooops.

You stole my mind, Karen. I have been reading people's posting. Verily giving my opinion about them. Request them to upvote my post only if they find it intriguing, but they don't. They forget that they've started from the bottom too. They should help newbies. This was an important post. :)

I agree with you Karen. It's getting annoying now. I used to just click the upvote on all the comments (other than the bland 'nice post' ones of course) but now I got and check they've voted before I do that and it feels scummy that I have to check.

A little while ago @kiwideb did a useful "how to" post that I resteemed so I could find it again.
When they comment without a vote I try to explain why it is not a wise idea and include Kiwidebs post.
any repeat comments from most of them have included a vote, so the idea seems to be working.

You are right, Karen. It is annoying for them not vote and only comment if it is a spamming type of comment. If they don't have voting power and they really do like your post then perhaps they comment that they have no votes but write telling you what the enjoyed about your post. I do get tired of the spamy stuff...
