I beg to disagree. I upvote good content. My vote may not mean much by way of value but each great blogger I follow and see who they are following. I make connections, I comment and I get new followers from those. These then turn into upvotes. I reciprocate when I feel they post good content and that way we all grow.

Read my article - you will see what data and not me says
I have read it
All I know is in my first week here I have earned more than I ever have off Facebook and Twitter, which I have had for years.
Sure - but I can tell you the earnings you have on steemit are because of bitcoin and steemit is powered by steemit coin but the ecosystem is far from being fair - it's us that have to see how things really are and come with solutions or suggestion to steemit boss and community
I see your point. This is the basis for @anomadsoul 's post
The basis of anomadsoul is that things are already fair and good - the reality - unfortunately is not how our dear author depicts it. Eco system is not rewarding good content but only few friends - the cousin of the cousin - brothers and sisters etc. The data is clear - steemit rewarding system doesn't pay the articles that bring most of the new genuine traffic

And that is exactly the way to do it. If the content is good, upvote and resteem, if it is not, don´t. But we should not let the status of the user influence your decision about upvoting or not a post.
