I think you will find that most people have a lot patience with newer users as most of us were there at one point. I cannot speak for those who invested actually currency to give them a head start. But for the most part, a vote from you, no matter the amount, has meaning as you give what you can. That for me is a symbol of your appreciation. But the real value is in the exchange and time spent with one another. But I'm here for social and spiritual reasons, the steem is a byproduct of that exchange. I've delegated it all away to help others. So I value the exchange and I am more than willing to help you as the time and energy we just spent with one another has value!
