I'm really new here right, 5 days or so? My vote adds up to nothing but I cast it where I really liked the article.

I've already gotten used to not getting much eyeballs on my articles. What I do is I sit on the new page, read what people are posting and if I find the article interesting I get into a conversation with the guy, say something to motivate the dude, blow in his sails a bit because I know from where I'm standing that it's hard to not receive any feedback.

Maybe there's a game to be played by following the whales, I personally don't care and I decide if I follow based on the material that's in front of me.
