How do you spend your upvotes? What about tips? (lemmy.ml)

I have heard a few different strategies for this. For example "Upvote everything, even if you disagree with it, if it contributes to discussion". But my concern with this strategy is that it means the first posted comments just get upvoted the highest regardless of their quality relative to other comments (as all comments which contribute to discussion get upvoted).

So, my questions for lemmy:

How do you hand out upvotes and why?
If somebody could leave you a tip on your comment or post if they liked it (3c, $1, whatever), would you be interested in that functionality? Nostr has this and I find it pretty fun. I would hand out tips here but there is no functionality for it.

True, but groupthink is still split among ideologies.
