Thank you for the comment @cataincanary.
Yes you would think something so logical would be followed by the masses but it is not. People act as if the money given for the upvotes comes out of their wallet instead of being a representation for a certain part of the reward pool. Unless someone is using all upvotes on him or herself, of which I wont upvote that person, then there is no point to it.
Use the upvotes even in the comment sections.
