Hivebuzz Badge - 36,000 upvotes distributed

I received this email yesterday congratulating me on completing an achievement on the Hive blockchain of distributing more than 36,000 upvotes.

This made me start thinking about who I am supporting on the Hive Blockchain so I made my way over to PeakD to view the dashboard where I know I can find that information.

Once you get to the dashboard, you need to click on the Analytics tab (circled, second box on the first row). Once you get on the Analytics screen, you will see the "Outgoing Votes" section on the right hand side of the second row of information stats.

I wanted to see about three months of Data so I hit the "Load More Data" button at the bottom of the page. I was pleased to see there are a lot of different Hive users that received my upvote.

---

---

My full upvote is around $0.06 USD or 0.15 Hive.

---

---

I normally give out about 60% to 70% upvote on the posts that I support and a 40% upvote on comments. I want my upvote to have meaning so want to ensure it has value to the person or project receiving the upvote.

I guess this is to balance quality or quantity. I could have made my vote worth less and been able to vote a whole lot more times instead of just the 36,000 upvotes that I have distributed but this is the decision I made and am happy with it.

How do you determine the amount of upvote that you use when upvoting other's content?
