I didn't know that. The way I understand it, you send some funds to the dustsweeper account and whenever you get a post or comment that is below the threshold it bumps it up to a point where it's above it. I don't think it increases the upvotes you give to others who are below taking from your balance. I could be wrong but the only real info I can find is a post from 4 years ago.

Yeah I'm kind of operating on memory from 4 years ago. My understanding was that you can also use it to keep your upvotes on comments from turning to dust.
I just upvoted this comment, and peakd says 0.019. If @dustsweeper comes along and upvotes this comment before payout, then we will know. If it doesn't, it could be because the calculations are too close and it smudged above before it checked. I should have voted a little smaller for a better experiment.
I didn't follow up before now, but dustbunny did round this comment up to 0.02, so it does follow your own votes and keep them from dusting.
