Hear, Hear! Go Mr. G! I tend to apply this principle to self voters but I might just follow suit though my vote is quite modest.

Yes, self voters are also not high on my list...good call!
We were always told as kids that 'self praise is no praise'. The very act of posting is surely enough self-endorsement, but of course it is up to each to follow his own principles.
Exactly! Don't go 'round tootin' your own horn my dad would say. I like the 'self praise is no praise', too
Wise words.
Legit!
It seems quite logical to want to support those who support the blockchain with a power up now and then, Iike to see people doing them weekly, not monthly and certainly not fucken 0.050 annually!
Supporting people who take everything weakens the blockchain and I can only see a benefit to EVERYONE powering up weekly and EVERYONE casting votes on people other than themselves, including comments. Takers...well, they'll be getting sweet fuck all from me and if that narrows down who I vote for so be it...you'll get more, as will others who support the blockchain with power ups.
It doesn't matter how big your vote is, just cast in on users who truly deserve it.
Perhaps you've started a movement. It would push creators to put out quality or run the risk of diminished returns. We are a self governing body, so they should take the hint and if not, then they will suffer from a lack of attention. That, or a slap upside the noggin..that might do it lol
I've tried before, many have, and in an ideal world what you say will happen but I think it won't.
An example:
other posts as well. But nope, so many drop and disappear. It doesn't make sense to me that a person would be so short sighted.Many people enter the #weekend-engagement concept, drop a post and fuck off. I've been voting them commensurate with the quality of post and sending to curangel where deserving. So many don't come back to engage with me in the week though, just drop their post on a weekend and disappear. A lost opportunity, because if they engaged they'd get more votes on comments and, once a relationship is formed, their
That's ok though, more of my vote is left over for people like you, your comments and all, and others like you.
If people won't change their ways they'll earn less from me. Will that catch on? Maybe not.
Lots of folks seem to run from one opportunity to the next trying to maximize gain and wind up being behind the eight ball the whole way. For those people, I don't think they'll get the message from withholding a vote, but with repeated slights they may slow down enough to realize something's different. Putting down roots is the way, show you are rock solid and dependable and build from that firm base. I think that's an issue with new user retention as well, huge expectation for tiny effort.
Yep, for sure, but most just want a fast pay day and don't think too much into the future, Hive and real life, and then wonder why they have fuck all at some point down the line. That's when they blame everyone else but themselves. Predictable behaviour.
