Excellent advice. I think some users even target empty content created by whale accounts in hopes of a return. I'm sure the whales could care less about my ten cent upvote. And upvoting garbage hoping for a return misses the point anyway.

You give the best advise possible. Just do you. Be yourself and find like minded individuals. Grow together. Eventually, your dimes and their dimes equal dollars. And, more importantly, you have made some friends.
