I used to self upvote. When my upvote was 5-15 cents and i got a 1-4 dollars a post… it seemed fine to me. As soon as my stake raised i stopped. I’m not really even so sure how i feel about it. A part of me thinks i invested a lot so should be able to recoup. I guess with the bigger amount i can see how it feels leechy. I’m on an old vote trail from 2017… and that vote trail gives a small % self vote. I never took the time to figure out how to make it not vote on me. And i dont even know what triggers it. As not all my posts trigger the trail. 🤷♂️ i dont feel so bad about that though, as it’s normally well under 10 cents. I figure i do the vast majority manual voting, im actively engaging and commenting on users posts and in general supporting the chain, i care about hive and so im glad nobody gives me shit for this dumb vote trail self votes that i cant be fucked to figure out. lol and so it goes, we each do what we do and others respond as they wish.
Seems reasonable
