I fully agree with that sentiment, and I apologize if my comment was in anyway taking away from the article, I do support it, but I think for my own self as a result, I'll make a more noticeable attempt to upvote those that I like.

I often find I'll read a post, enjoy it, but feel my upvote is not really necessary. In that way, I feel innovation and "putting yourself out there" should be rewarded more by myself anyway.
