I always have good intentions and try to find the best way to add value to others and get rewarded for my contribution.
I never created fake accounts, never shared pre-recorded contents, never used upvoting bots. I’m on my early days of exploring and experimenting.
And I’m not doing Charity business with Steem!

It’s not about how much money you make but it’s about how you make money! This world always had bad people and good people and I just want to associate with good people only

Balance Balance Balance my friend!
There are many angles, many nooks and crannies here! Only self upvoting and we don't have a social network! No self upvoting and whats the point of all the steem power we worked hard to accumulate?
As you say we are just starting out and seeing whats working. Take a look at this chart!, it is your very own voting record for the past month, and tells me you've self-voted 18% of your votes (and if you play with the days, you've done it a bit more recently). Interesting.
Now here's mine. 1.9% and falling! Am I more righteous than you? Ha! Watch this now:
I delegate to qurator, great program, supports many, they give me a daily autovote. I've invested in @steembasicincome, more autovotes for me and my nominees. Last time I bought in I bought SBD, and I have been recyclying it for weeks with bidbots on my own posts! This is how I bought in this time, not just steem power but some visibility and experimentation with bots. I also have a few other accounts. They aren't currently upvoting myself, but I have done in the past.
So what's the difference? I am in some engagement leagues that will penalize me for doing what you do, but not what I do. Silly ain't it?
But we must be balanced, as with all things in life. We must encourage others, engage, communicate, love, dialogue, participate and grow together! How you use your stake is your business, but it tells me a lot about you.
Look again at your chart: You have upvoted HUNDREDS of unique authors in the same period. Thats fantastic. Not many can say that, not even me, though I am not too far behind you ;p
Keep it up, I say! One thing to consider could be voting some of your posts after a time, sure you get less curation rewards but those rewards reward your voters. Just a thought!
You do you, and do it well!
Thank you so much my friend! Such a valuable comment!!!
To be honest until last week, I haven’t personally know anybody within Steemit.
I just wish more people will honest about thier actions. But it’s not going to change my attitude towards life.
I do good and good come to me!! For me it’s not about how much money I make and it’s about I make my money is important.
Thanks again for your positive feedback:)
Especially when you get started here...its really a network and when you get started you are pretty much invisible, except to the bots of course, the only ones that have time to crawl the 'new posts' tab.
But moving forward it should get better and better, the community aspect is so important, and with the d.apps improving and the community expanding, we are the early adapters, later we are the people that the next generation will look up to.
I think I have the Brave Browser set up with dlive, it shouldn't be long until I start getting some test videos out! What do you do for thumbnail, do you take a picture first?
I'll do some tests.
As a steem investor like yourself, I can tell you that you must earn from the Steem blockchain at least 10% annually to make up for the 10% Steem annual inflation rate as mentioned in the steem whitepaper. One way to earn it is by self-upvoting so don't feel bad. I don't post much content so the way I get it back is by delegating. If I were to post content I'd be self-upvoting too.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts @mikefriedman.
Yes I shouldn’t feel bad !!
Have a wonderful day :)
You are right if we invested a lot of money we have the right to upvote our self. It's your money and you have the complete right to upvote yourself. I'm sure that you are doing that to promote your amazing content. I think if the upvote it's good to upvote ourself if our upvote can support our posts somehow, but to upvote our self with cents, doesn't worth it. Thanks for supporting others as well. ☺
It was lovely chatting on Telegram today @clixmoney.
Next time we’ll have a real conversation.
Have a wonderful weekend:)
You are welcome, that was a big honor for me chating with you there. ☺
it is not as if you are not upvoting others. In fact, I find that you are currently one of the people on this platform that this community is benefiting the most from. And I am not even taking the value of your content into account. I am talking purely in statistical sense of good curating.
I think its only fair that people upvote their own posts. It shows that you consider your own posts worthwhile. I mean if a person is not confident in his own work then what is the point, right?
There are a lot of good people who do not self upvote. I find that they don't do it because they want to make a statement against those who are actually abusing their voting power (which is not the case here and its crystal clear).
Thanks sharing your opinion @hashcash.
I’m still new to Steemit and my way of learning is trial and error.
Everyone has thier own way of analysing the self upvoting. However I can easily create multiple accounts and protend that I don’t self upvote and I rather openly do it and willing share why I’m doing it.
I agree with you, we just hang out with good people only. But it would be better if we could turn bad people into good people.
Have a good day @nathanmars
Awesome thought which i like most
Focus on contribution through content or contribution and not care about making money through post
I do care making money for my contribution !!!
@nathanmars, I told you before already used upvoting bots 2 or 3 months ago. I finally leave from it coz I knew it was bad attitude steem blockchain. Self-upvoting not bad I think. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks for understanding my dear friend!
Hope you’re having a wonderful day :)
Episode #9 #AskDNomad is coming next...
I've never used bid-bots too I feel the best contents should be the ones trending, but what do you know decentralization has changed this, contents with uttermost value should be immortalized I guess so, sometimes we want to make impact before making money. That's the most important factor
I’m glad to hear you never uses bud-bots :))
The first 2 years of Steem is experimental to find out what works and what doesn’t.
In few more years time everything will start changing and Steem Dapps will lead the way to rewards better content. Now we’re still building community.
OMG buddy how similar our content is today! ;-) hahaha just finished editing my today's video will bring it up in some minutes! Have a great day, high5 from Barcelona
Oh really?
Great minds think alike @hauptmann!!
Steemit is an investment platform, that is why it is possible to invest money on steemit and so there is no crime trying to profit from your investment. So if it takes selfvoting to do it, no problem.
I’m glad to you understand it my friend:)
I love your this sentence "It’s not about how much money you make but it’s about how you make money!".
I totally agree with you and i always tried to use the same path as you :)
Thanks!
The words that you highlighted in us are really very effective and I agree with your words. You always try to do something good, but other people do not do it, for this, he has forgotten his own responsibility, thank you so much for posting so nice.
Thanks you bro!
