Is it considered bad form for a curation account that I control to upvote my posts? It usually only upvotes my posts when it can't find other posts to upvote ... BYTE doesn't have 10 posts a day yet.
O.K. I want to be a little careful here. This is my own personal opinion and not that of @learn2code or the Learn to Code tribe. The self-upvote issue can be controversial and there's no need for the tribe to officially pick a side when it isn't necessary.
Speaking as @holovision or @holovision.stem, my views not necessarily representing those of the tribe:
Within reason I don't think self-voting with an alternate account is unethical. If the account is meant to curate certain content and the self-vote is the same percent as you would give if the exact same post had been written by a complete stranger, then I don't personally see that as a problem.
If I were you I wouldn't use the Verify Your Brain tribe tags in the self-upvote posts. That tribe has chosen a side on the self-vote issue and they are most definitely against self-voting.
That's one of the main reasons I prefer POB over VYB. In my personal view VYB is like a homeowners association on the Hive blockchain. You know how when letters are read in movies and the voice of the person who wrote the letter narrates what the letter says? When I was reading the VYB introduction post I heard Phil Hendrie doing the Bobbie Dooley character voice narrating the VYB intro in my head.
Again, just my own personal views as @holovision or @holovision.stem.😁
