There are three things I can do to support good work, as I see it. One, I can upvote. It's the easiest. To me it says, "you did well here and deserve to be rewarded." Two is the resteem. It's also fairly easy, but it says "not only should you be rewarded by me, but my followers should also see what you have to say, so they can reward you as well." Three is the comment, which says "I want to personally encourage you to keep going, and to post more things like this." The comment is the hardest, and rewards the creator in a different way, not necessarily with money.
I think your attitude about resteeming is fine, and serves to boost the community (which is why I follow you). Anything that does that should be welcome in this space.
