I just saw that @balikis95 had boosted my post so I reciprocated on one of hers. I appreciate it although I feel there's more deserving users than myself. I'm still grateful of course.
I prefer boosting Ecencians who need a boost to get above a dollar or two, but appreciated her gesture to use her points to give you a 'whale vote'. It's a great way to reward friends when your own vote is small.
She is a good egg, seems to do good posts and gets some voting from me because of it, and I curate her with curangel now and then too. I am really pleased to see her boosting other people, rather than herself, as I think it is a great way to build rapport and start relationships, if backed up with commenting etcetera, which she also does with me. Anyway, I appreciate it and she'll get back more than she has invested in future voting from me because of the way she shares out her own Ecency points.
I'm not sure if you saw my recent Quick coffee comment post last week in which I gave 50 Ecency points away to commenters, some 850 or so points in all - I also asked some of my connections to vote up the comments, which they did. I wonder if they used them to boost themselves or paid it forward; probably the latter though. I have three more such posts in draft right now, which I'll deploy over the coming weeks. I guess I'm trying to demonstrate that giving them away to others is an investment.
A lovely way to demonstrate paying it forward! I have no problem with anyone using the Points they have earned to boost themselves, especially when it's a matter of trying to get your post $ over a couple of cents. But using your Points to boost others and build relationships is certainly carrying out the ideal of Ecency generosity!
