Ye I know. I did the same thing in the beginning :p
When you gt more steem power(sp) you can still make meaningful upvotes but with less power, meaning you can give to more people :D
I did a lot of commenting when I started and people happily upvoted comments back in the day, now it takes a bit more work.
I suggest you just create art og publish it here and join a few contests :D
Yeah, I'm used to upvotes to just show appreciation. It'll be nice when I get enough sp that I can adjust votes like that.
Until then, I'm trying to make art more often, which I'll put up here and I'll definitely look for some contests. I'll also check out the app you mentioned in your other comment. I need a better way to browse and post things. Thanks for your advice :)
