Similar struggles! It's hard to spread a 'tiny' vote - but the account value it comes from stays the same, despite the dollar value. This is why I believe we should ban all dollar references on all Steem front-ends. Let's talk STEEM! It would help educating people as well: a vote from a 500 SP account is a vote from a 500 SP account, no matter the dollar exchange rate.

I now more or less try to decide: how much time for curating do I have? Loads? Tiny upvotes for many Steemians. Just a few minutes? Bigger upvotes for fewer Steemians.

Anyway, do as you need to be the Steemian you want to be :-) People who don't appreciate a 0.01 upvote are probably not (yet) understanding the 'real' value of that upvote ;-)
