I think upvoting other people to show that you care and respect their contribution to the community is more important then financial aspect of upvoting. On the other hand, if you gain overall respect in community upvotes from others can be much more profitable. This is the main reason that I prefer not to upvote myself.
But self upvoting is a little silly!
A little silly, or a lot profitable? These are the conundrums of Steem!

I agree with you.
True, Money Talks either way.
