Resteems have always been the poor cousins to upvotes on the steem blockchain. For curation and content discovery, resteems are an effective tool.
I've always wondered why resteems aren't more 'respected', most front ends for steem don't give much data on them.

It's only after we click the post that Partiko goes that step further than most other steem blockchain user interfaces and shows that magic number
