I don’t feel it was wasted, because I wasn’t voting to win. I also didn’t vote for Stein in 2024, so those numbers don’t matter.

In 2016, I voted for Stein to send a message to Clinton, saying “You could have won if you were a better candidate. Here’s a person willing to spend the effort to go to the polling booth, but would rather vote for a candidate with no chance of winning than vote for you.”
