I also suggest that you check the Payout Time page and not only the New, been doing that for some time and found some more interesting things that generally went unnoticed. For a lot of people even the difference between 0.00 and 0.01 on a post makes huge difference in not letting them easily give up along with the extra vote they get. So there is nothing wrong in encouraging them when they have made something that is worth at least 1 cent here on steemit... sadly not many are doing even that.
