It never occured to me to vote for myself..
I reckon I will refrain from doing so just outa principle.
There is a good bit of quality being submited here, better to save my repo for them I think.
There is still much I don't understand about the power steem up down biz.
The crab bucket analogy is pretty good
It never occurred to me not to vote for myself until a couple of months ago.
Not just my posts, obviously I think my posts deserve a vote or a wouldn't post them.
But my comments - not for the money, but to get them up to the top where people see them.
How did that work? - good, some of my self upvoted comments earned a lot more than some of my posts (and not from me!)
Most people only see the comments up at the top so self voting achieves that.
Why did I stop? - because a whale I respect highly pretty much told me to. Occasionally when it's important I still upvote my own comments. And all my posts always, or course!
