RE: Only-Upvote-Others-Athon - Join Up, It's Free :)

in #blog8 years ago

Well put together and I can mostly agree.. I would argue that it's not so much a minnow problem as a dolphin and whale problem.. I'm more than fine with minnows upvoting their own posts. but when users with larger amounts of money are giving themselves most of their daily votes, then ye that suck. I auto upvote my posts, but I never post mor than 3 times a day. Usually less, which gives me plenty of voting power to pass around. Once I hit a good amount of steem say 10k, I will also stop upping my own posts. Because I can agree with your sentiment, I think you are on point. Yet if an upvote is 1 cent or even a dollar, I think it doesn't matter as much as if it 10$ or 100$.. Thanks for your input though, it does need to be addressed. But I would advise new users to continue upvoting your own posts. We will not judge you, at least I won't!

And additionally upvoting your own comments is bad form. I've always felt that way. but upvoting other peoples comments is good form. I do it in my posts to control what it the top comment and what is on the bottom. Im sure you do that as well. I did it in your post, because the topic was good. And the responses were really good. Valued.customer , writewords, and anti-sophist all deserved the upvotes. I'm jealous of the interaction your posts bring with the community. I hope someday I can get this many well thought out, just generally good responses!

Indeed it doesn't matter "as much", but even at that minute effect the principle of the issue still applies ;) Thanks for the feedback.
