How do you feel about upvotes of 0.00003$?
In the Steem(it) system, there are a lot of small accounts, with a minimal voting power or value. Upvotes like “0.00003$”, a “3/100 000” part of a dollar, or a 0.003 percent of a cent are very frequent. You need 333.33 pieces of this to get 1 cent, or 33 333.33 of them to get one dollar (or SBD).
I know the owners of this votes are acting with their best goodwill and friendliness, trying to be part of the system, trying to curate. But sometimes I have the impression this has no real sense and makes only disturbing noise. The (hidden) transactions costs are, maybe, higher than the benefits.
The Facebook likes, for example, have all the equal weight but mean no income for the content creator. On Steemit, these small votes are more symbolic, don’t mean real income either.
What do you think? How do you feel about upvotes of 0.00003$?

There's a dust threshold of 2 cents, if a post or comment doesn't reach this amount then all the votes on that post are wasted. So if you have no stake voting is pointless. All it does it add more transactions to the chain, but it is just like throwing turd on the turd pile.
Unless you have like hundreds+ of SP there is no point in voting at the current price, you won't earn anything from it. Build your account up first by posting quality content, or buy some SP. Then you will be making a difference.
@denmarkguy was discussing this exact thing on his blog earlier today - its a bit of a catch 22 for those who hold very little SP to be honest.... and I suppose this would fall into "other" lol

I really don't care about random minute votes but it might be a problem if it is from someone I know or someone I am close to on this platform.
true
