Especially when you think that Steemit is a gifteconomy that people can use their wealth (SP) to give out to initiatives that they care about.
When you really like their post its so easy to go 100% and give them an encouraging word and to them it feels so good.
I know we shouldn't validate people on the basis of how much their posts make but is feels so good when people like your content and you see that dollar amount rise.
This is why I have set out to use Steemit as a crowdfunding option for a small school that we adopted who educated children of an indigenous tribe called Aetas in the Philippines.
It is far more easier to click on that upvote because the cost of that upvote coming from a nearly infinite supply backed by your SP which just needs to have its VP revert to 100%
A lot of great Steemians like Taskmaster4450 and Stellabelle talk about the effect of that SP as compounding in a sense that as time goes by your SP will just get stronger and stronger, the rewards you give with a single upvote increases and when you delegate your SP to other people it is still yours and you can take it back anytime especially if you want to power down. But to power down is crazy because of all the innovations Steem has.
I wouldnt be surprised if one day the value of the accounts here become hundreds of million.
I am also awed that it has given a lot of Filipinos like me opportunities. We have so many stories of people able to buy milk and diapers for their babies, send money to siblings, get medical help for their ailing parents and grandparents, pay off loans. Get the financial freedom to stay home and be with their kids.
Steemit is awesome in the way that you get richer by giving out more. Sure some may say you get more by selling the delegation but by actively voting and commenting you create a stronger community. Don't have the time or because there is just so many content out there and you only have two hands and a pair of eyeballs that you can't see all then create delegation warriors like the Stewards of Gondor who is amazing in giving out votes and comments.
Steemit is all about giving.
