I feel your pain regarding voting power @stever82, and if you don't have the "magic slider", it's even worse! Whenever my voting power is low, I continue to comment, often apologizing for not being able to upvote, and never has anyone made me feel badly about that! In fact, it's just the opposite and people tell me that a well thought out comment is worth more to them than any upvote.
So, my advice, keep commenting and upvote only when you can :)
thanks that is good advice.
You're welcome @stever82 😅
