Yeah but you're doing it with a hand that cant win unless you spike, so what you're really doing is just gambling. Might as well minraise any two cards because you could flop whatever and build a pot. There's no reason to build a pot with a hand that flops sets because as the aggressor you're only going to get action from hands that draw to beat you. It's not like you're giong to minraise 44, get flatted by QQ. This is why weak hands are better played passively since your goal is to stack someone else who has QQ when they are the aggressor, or as a bluff.
Dont build pots with air that cant win without hitting.
And yes I think even bad players pay a little bit of attention to bet sizing. For instance they'll notice if you open for $4 vs $20 and put you on AA vs whatever. They might not adjust to it properly and call you with the same range and frequency either way.
