I never feel like I have anything interesting to post. But I do try to encourage other posters by leaving a positive comment, even if it's just a thank you or something nice.
Upvotes don't do much, but some positive feedback should keep people motivated to keep posting. At least, that's how I see it.
It doesn't have to be that interesting. It just needs to be content. I found maybe 5%-10% of posts on imgur to be interesting, yet I still went there everyday for years. Same with Reddit, but likely even less.
