This is jus an amazing system to get more people connection, to make us relate the other, and spend time reading an article, more than asking for an upvote. Im planing to make a post about how to increase, or how to make better real readers, helping each other tu introduce steemians to other steemians, with the same tastes and likes, I'd love to add this tip system just to give as a gift or price for a great article, with more value than an upvote. Im gonna keep reading about it.
There are some great steem apps here - steembuddy is a good one to find people and connect with them on similar interests :)
