Yeah, but there's lots of them. You have to look at the percentages. If I spend $10 on one vote and get 5%, I'm only getting $0.5 back at once. I split that $10 vote up to 100 votes and get 30%. Each vote is only worth $0.10, but I'm getting 30% which is $0.0333. This comes out to approx $3.

If you're asking whether I'd get $3 from a hundred votes or just $0.5 from one vote, I'll take the $3. The returns are small on a per-vote basis. Accumulate them, and they're worth a ton.

Also, like I said, if I go small enough, I get steemit rounding up for me. Due to rounding errors, I get even more returns. My $3 return from $10 vote can easily become $10.
