My upvotes go to the people who I regularly interact with. I'm a big upvoter of comments. I like to monetize my interactions because why the hell not. Even if I disagree with someone I upvote their replies and keep upvoting if they keep upvoting mine. I follow a few users who have an order of magnitude or two more of SP than I have. I try to drop quality comments to receive a few good upvotes. I follow many blogs that I find interesting whose owners have an order of magnitude or two less SP than I. I upvote their posts regularly. Most of the blogs I follow belong to minnows like myself. Those who I support are a mix of interesting content producers and people who have demonstrated an interest in growing their accounts. I like tending my garden, a mutual support society of growth-minded individuals.
