I'm old, not very tech savvy, and more accustomed to Reddit. There the custom is to upvote more frequently. It's a younger demographic and I frequently upvote there. Some people seem to appreciate it, I know that I do. Here the custom is different. I still upvote a lot. If someone doesn't want my recommendation then they can tell me. But I see a lot to upvote here.
