Hey @steemedman!! I’m really glad I could answer that question for you. I saw a notification for your comment over there but was caught up finishing this post first, I’ll make sure to get over to that soon and answer it more fully for you!
On the contrary, I actually think your point of view is incredibly valuable when it comes to these pages as they are designed with the focus of a new/aspiring Steemian such as yourself! I’ll be coming out with many more pages like this for the different apps of Steem and I look forward to your input ;)
As for choosing upvote amounts, I use Partiko when responding and upvoting both comments and posts. There is a vote slider that shows me what % of my vote is used as well as how much $$ its worth. I arbitrarily choose an amount to upvote a comment such as yours. Typically based on how valuable/relevant it is to the post. I think a lot of authors do the same as many comments on Steem can vary from generic to highly relevant. Hope that helps :)

Cool, thanks for the help. I'm using Partiko now, I was using the "Steemit beta" with the Chrome browser on my phone and I never had an option of sliders. When I would click to upvote it just seemed to assign a random $ value, sometimes nothing, sometimes $0.04 etc...that being said I wasn't able to assign a $ value when I upvoted your reply. Maybe I don't have anything to give, I'm not sure right now. It didn't seem to matter what % I used. I'll keep playing with it anyway and hopefully figure it out eventually. Cheers, keep up the good work!
