I have no issue upvoting my own content as per the post however upvoting myself for comments and everything is going a bit far. I have also seen steemit become a game of just auto voting the most popular people which is not helping new people that provide quality content at all. Its almost as if you want to play the steemit game you need to invest about 10,000 steem power +
I have felt that way before also. I guess it has been a marathon of feeling like I have almost made it to the big time. lol.
