From what I've seen there are two camps: Those for and those against self up-voting.
The original idea of voting bots was to show one's appreciation of someone else's post, but it wasn't long before self-upvoting became the trend.
Recently the initiator of the Steemit Colour Challenge was blacklisted for using voting bots to upvote her own posts ~So I'd be wary of the over-use of voting bots to self-upvote.
Having said this, after watching this video I really do like Jerry's approach, as he's using his influence for the benefit of Steem. And so I'd like to experiment with it a little now too. 🦋
Yes, I agree. That's why I like @jerrybanfield so much. He is helping to support the entire community with his teachings. We can all learn so much. Thanks for the comment.
