Here is my answer for the few articles, I read last days about the Self-voting issue after the HF19.
BRAVO!
I used to love Clint Eastwood's Western as a teenager and here is one scene what inspired me once again, Steemit community in mind.
Such a cool dream man! Isn't he?
Don't "shoot" me because I upvoted my own article but I am used to help myself, if nobody else does.
I have issues with egocentric, greed-driven, money-grabbing, abusive circle jerks, not with the occasional selfvoters for their various reasons.
I also wrote in a comment that I don't understand that people talk so much about money, already complain their first weeks on the platform, even beg for followers, votes and resteems instead of putting the focus on valuable content and your helpful comments.
Those things need to be earned and deserved!
The virtual world is not much different to the real one.
Nothing is free! Your laughs are.
BE Your Best Self!
Sometimes I write very long articles, sometimes I only share photos, memories, short or long posts, boring for one but maybe touching for another.
I do what I feel shows the soul I have to share.
Guess what, I have a few unfollowers every day as well as followers and that's ok. I can't expect everybody vibes with me but some do.
Rewards from whales, the so called well deserved powerful and important guys who invested their funds, believing in the coin and platform, can never value for who I am but I am proud to be a 🐬as I said before in my first anniversary post.
There are many ways where you can promote your precious articles and stories.
It takes time and zillion hours to earn your rewards and another zillion of hours to close your eyes, stop looking at trending pages and feel discouraged. It will not get you anywhere if you feel jealous.
It takes time to get to know your followers.
It takes time to be successful.

I read some contents about the selfupvoting on their own comments (not their post, just comments) and if I understand, the worst tig is that some (I hope few) steemians are "consuming" their power voting just to upvote their comments, without upvote the post that they're commenting. So sad.
PS: I love so much the Clint Eastwood's Western!!!!
so we are going to excessively upvote each other non stop? :-))
I upvote so much that I ran out of power and need to refill
I totally agree with you and as we can find in our real world " people are just people" and there are the ones who should be socially exposed for their abuse, the ones who would do anything for more money.
Did you see that awesome scene 🙀 Lov it !
That scene is one of my favorite!!! Lov it! Here in Italy Clint has many many fans from years 'cause "spaghetti western" of the '60/'70 ! ^_^
Can't forget those kind of men !
Where are they !!!???? Those good men :) you got one Silvia
Yessss, I got one . They are rare, but there are :P
haaaawww,... it´s a long way to go. Steeming around should be a self driving process without actually looking at reward (but we are all human) :-P
Yes we are only human after all 😾
yes YOU are
Sometimes I am even another form of a robot hahah
111110000101010010101010010000011111111111111111111111111010010101010100101011010010101001 or did you mean 000001010101010101111111000011111010101011 ?
:-O
Exactly like that !!!
That was an OR Quuueeeestioooon :-((
Naaa,... i am tayloring again,... maybe can show something nice these days :-)
Keep being you're best self, and if enough of us do also, then maybe we'll have the best version of Steemit we can have. I agree with the sentiments you expressed here :)
It's just living life to our best in general. Might not be good enough for a few others but it doesn't matter. Whales can't value me but they have the power to pay me well. That's all they can do for us. We need to focus on good content for the blockchain and the next generations to come after us.
Yes, agreed. Put value into our blogs. Whether whales see us or not. For ourselves, for each other, for those still to arrive.
Exactly!!!
i agree with you @mammasitta it takes times and effort to get famous in this site,,and the money will follow.
and I am not against of those selfvoting, as long as it is reasonable, and what called as deserve.
but i stumble upon a user who upvote one post and made $0.9 on the post, yet made a comment and upvote it and made $5.14 for him self, and continue to other of his comment. and the author get only 0.9?
it is funny, isn't it?
Those people need to be exposed and will stop being arses
I wanted to, but seeing his SP and Steem on his own. he could finish my journey here.
but he give me lesson, not to be a selfish person.
i guess this person will be exposed sooner or later.
Don't get confused about those people. Stand straight up and do what you feel is right.
I will for sure. This comunity is much bigger and lovely than those selfish person.
That's what I saw as well over the past year!
The best way to spend time is enjoying yourself. If that leads to some kind of reward than so be it. It is easy to spot people who try too hard doing something for a reward but not being themselves nor enjoing it.
I enjoy reading your stuff cannot find anything compareable somewhere else. Keep it on @mammasitta :)
Danke 🙏 So lieb von Dir. BE yourself is the way to go and write what you feel.
I am holding myself back with voting at the moment because I was too generous and went down to nearly 30% voting power. Right now I am refilling. Sorry for my late reply
Right now I am also just doing some orientations and getting to know Steemit. Thinkg and preparing my introduction article and future articles to come. :)
Totally agreed with your thoughts.
You must be a Clint Eastwood fan as well 🙀
yup.
The main problem of people is money..maybe that's why
We all need it to pay our bills and I am no different. I enjoy my rewards but abuse is wrong. Simple as that !
yes, that's the right mindset!
Many have here in our nice community.
That's good enough for me
yes. I just joined 12 days ago on Steemit. I am trying to find my best ideas and to find good and motivational content to read
Don't forget your personal message for the future and you will enjoy every second of it here in this interesting community! Good luck WOLF !
Thank you so much for your support! Wish you a great day!
i guess the main basics of this platform are still not cleared to many people thats why they wrote posts like that
It's good to discuss those issues
Yes, many people do not know the basics of Steem and they just think it is just another way to making a few bucks.
Thats the Point !! you got it right
Yes. As and when a lot of general public notices something that is making money to a few, they join it just to make money. Just like steem, or like Bitcoin; bitcoins were created for a completely different reason. It was to make it transactions, it was to decentralize money and to make use of the technology but people these days just use bitcoins like a way trade.
meep
italian Western movies with Clint were the best western movie I saw as a child :)
I couldn't get enough of Clint 🙀
the director of those movie, Sergio Leone, said that Clint had 2 looks: "with cigar and without cigar" :D
Hahhaa that's cool
Awesome post,loved it
Did you watch the clips ?
Nice post , I like Clint Eastwood so much, thanks for sharing.
We nearly forget about those "cool" men hahha
People need to understand the changes.
People need to find and understand their purpose here beyond coins and 💰cash
yes...true!
nice!
Thanks
I think selfvoting should be removed or at least limited or something. Either way, success comes to those who have patience.
Abuse should be socially exposed!
I am upvoting my words 😸
nicely explained !!
Short to the point 😼
exactly :D
Hello my dear friend
♥
Hello hello back to you with 😻
Great post ,Thanks sor sharing
Nice to meet you 🙌
nice to connect with you :)
For sure ! I am reading your 2 articles right now :)
Wonderful done well I wish you a happy day
I wish you 2 happy days and even more 👐
Thank you my greetings
This is probably my second week here, and I have never been so frustrated with social networking sites. When I post stuff here, hardly anyone reads it.
Almost everyone here is for the money, and since newbies like me have less power to reach viral status, not many end up Upvoting or comment.
I do understand ! Please don't be frustrated and keep up your spirit. You need to find your followers and build your community and at some point your payouts will also be better. 2 weeks ? That's not much yet. It took me a whole year to be where I am now.
Nah! I am not worried about the payouts. I just miss the conversations that people have on facebook and reddit. Being a newbie here is not that good. But I am trying to build my community and finding people by commenting and Upvoting stuff that I love.
I takes time as I said. We all started as newbies. You will do well.
How many followers do you have now?
75 and counting. Working hard and staying positive.
That's the right spirit !!!
Reached my first 100 subscribers...
I love Clint Eastwood 🎬
And sometimes i do upvote myself but usually I give my upvote.
Sharing is caring, simple as that 🔝
Yes indeed and I just upvoted my own article and don't feel bad at all because I care and always upvote the people who take time to comment on my articles and thoughts
Great words here :)
I mean in good times i can give like 8 cents or something my Steemit is poor as ...., but i'm working on it ☝️
Like you said, you have to respect person who stoped by and left some comments. Like i'm said i'm sharing now and gonna share when i reach whale level 🐟
Have a great day @mammasitta
That's a LOT :) a great gesture and your comment is the real reward for me personally.
I made a lot here but never powered down nor did I take cash out of of the pool. A tiny bit to rest if this value is only monoploly money or actual income. It's for real and to know this, feels great!
I mean, put invests in other currencies and stuff ☝️
My next goal is to find good contest to share with others, let' s say i'm working on it 👌
At the moment just searching for all good stuff here, and trying to get know better with all.
You see everyone here is little different, with same goal- get SBD at the end 🔝
Voila!!! You will do well !
I agree with you that it's crazy when people post complaints in week one saying "this isn't fair, the whales get all the rewards." What do they expect?
Whenever I respond saying "hey it just takes time, I've been here for six months now and it gets better as you keep working at it" - they just get mad most of the time! I really don't get it.
I guess the first few weeks are always tough. We expect more and get sad when we do not get the promised payouts or even comments on our posts.
We all were there when we started and I had those moments being frustrated but nothing stopped me. Look at my wallet now 😻 They will learn or just go back to Facebook
That's a nice looking wallet you got there :-). Hopefully I'll be at your level in another 6-12 months if I keep working at it.
Can't complain 🐶
"I also wrote in a comment that I don't understand that people talk so much about money, already complain their first weeks on the platform, even beg for followers, votes and resteems instead of putting the focus on valuable content and your helpful comments." - humble myself agrees.
It's never been as bad to get begging comments or inbox messages than it is at the moment. It's a bit overwhelming. I believe that people who like your content will find it sooner or later. I find it annoying to get the " please resteem " comments but no feedback to your article. It's not so easy to keep up replying all the time but of course we try our best. I for sure do 🌼
Fishing for upvotes, anybody?? pleease? I have a little green puffy crocodile toy and it is hungry. Please, i don't want to feed it with my cat!
I don't know.. all this conversations about upvotes make me laugh.
Just keep doing great content and whatever lol.
Hahahaa ! Like my Python caught 😭my little kitty 🐲 Do you remember my post about this ?
Sounds like :
Swallow me! Please agrrrrrr !
Oh no. I just remembered it and he looked so weak. Sad memories.
I probably won't even blink if someone stabs my hand with a knife but it's too painful for me to watch when any animal is hurt.
WELL SAID!!! So true... nothing for nothing!! You are quite right, it needs to be earned - through the medium of quality content!
Voila !!!
🍀🍀🍀
Just be true to yourself. I really like that. 😊😚
It's the way to go wherever your path might be 🌱
As you said, It takes time to be successful. We need to work hard without abuse the platform.
Community support is well worth it and it was mostly lots of fun to be creative. 🍀
Hey mammasitta ;)
Omg so so cute ! I love 🐬🐬🐬 especially smiling ones
thanks for your post this seems prety helpful thanks for sharing it and keep on posting ;)
🐬😊🐬
People should have some fun here. Begging spams are sad thing, not fun at all. Instead of learning, and getting familiafr with platform and society, they spend most of the time fighting over few cents and followers. Im not saying that i dont make posts for money, but in 50% of cases i actually just post random stuff, experimenting to see how many people can see or even like it. Im playing with promotion, randowhale, contests, but somehow most of the times im stuck at reading stuff from other people here. Majority of new people like me (2,3 weeks old) should read more. Get to know some good people here, and for f$ck4 sake, have some fun.
You do a great job and yes at first it's a lot about reading 🍀🍀🍀 Good luck for you and all newcomers ! My inboxes are flooded with inquiries to follow vote and i do my best to check all out but it should be up to me to find content i like or interested in.
thanks a lot!
Yep, it takes indeed gazillion hours to get somewhere at Steemit! But, when putting in the effort, I'm sure it pays back sometime. And if it is not in coins, it is in FUN :)
Voila ! You got my point! Steemit pushed me to unknown limits and all overall it's fun to be creative and appreciated
Absolutely I got your point! :)
Did you watch the movie clip? So damn cool !
Yep! :)
good job @mammasitta
Very touched my soul when reading your article. Indeed all the things we want to achieve need the process and sacrifice. Thank you for the article you share may be your self always success, and I as a beginner in terms of steemit I really hope your help and support in every post that I share. Once again thanks for your post that so touches me when reading it. Greetings know my sister hopefully we can always be a friend even though in the world maya.andai I can know yourself in the real world is a very great happiness that I never get myself. I am very happy to be familiar with you, I hope we can always communicate. Greeting steemit.
I am a newbie here and your post is very helpful for me. I did not know about HF20 before it. What is wrong with it, please explain here.
Hello Mammasitta =)
Hope you having a fantastic week!
Im still new in Steemit... still confused about this "non appropriate" voting for our post... Every time i post automatically its already voted...
So my point, is it any problem with self auto voting!!?
If the platform make it as a default setting must be that its the way it been made for...
let me know in short what is your advise be great.
Thx alot Mami DJ... Miss your energy around :*
BIG KISSES!
good blog - i am sticking with being me on steem and sharing my art and music even though talking about crypto is the only thing anyone votes on -- i followed you cause your real. -David
Feel me touch me hear me ! Be real is the way to go! Nice to meet you 🌸🌸🌸
Thanks for visiting my page - love n light is alright
Hey. Alles gut?
Clint schießt gut :) mag ich auch.
Zumindest hab ich "früher" gern seine Filme gesehen..
Wegen den Selbstgevote... ja wieso nicht?
Wünsch dir was :)
Na und ob schießt der supaaaa 😂
I don't think it's cool to upvote every single of your own comments but it's no sin to do it once in a while

Really ? Which part hahah I bet you also love Clint 😂
Of course I do. Which real man doesn't? :D
After all... He makes my day hahahaha
