I think the vote is a ''being friendly'' commodity for the minnows. It's only one way of signaling one's sympathy toward a fellow Steemian. Mutual good intentions is the only thing to gain from it and there is nothing to lose by it. You can toss it around like you don't care. It's no different than the thumbs up feature on Facebook or the favorite star on Twitter, except here unfortunately you can't bookmark the post you voted for.
And that is another way in which we should be improving the platform. I am sorry that I can’t bookmark and store links to my favourite reads to go back to later. Its like doing research the old fashioned way, with research cards on which you annotate interesting information - only the links are so long!!
Look at the Evolution (button in the upper right corner above the graphic) curve of the Posting rewards versus the Curation rewards on SteemWhales.com. One has evolved in the last 10 days, the other hasn't. Guess which is which.
The useless upvotes festival is on! Here is mine!

its undeniable - I hadn’t used the evolution key but now see its full implications.
