How SBD influences resteeming

I know that its good to resteem posts that are really valuable to the community or any article that looks its worthwhile. However, i cannot find how the amount of steem dollars used, are affecting the' resteeming'. There is a minimum amount , i get that. But if you put 1 or 10 dollars, whats the difference?

If I understand correctly, resteeming will just make the post appear on the feed of your followers , so the amound of dollars used shouldnt matter, right? Or is the amount going to the initial author, so its more like a 'contribution' to him directly?
