Also, voting for yourself doesn't do anything for you until you get above 2¢
No payout at 1 penny.
It is also consider impolite to vote for yourself. The system works better if you vote for everyone else, and everyone else votes some for you too.
There has been lots of discussion over it. But, right now, your vote won't get a payout.
I voted for you to. Not to self aggrandize but to desperately stay in a conversation that is important to me. Thanks for your support.
I do not take any offense at it. Just wanted you to know that it is a thing on steemit. Both, that there are people that look down on self voting (especially comments) and that there is a minimum amount required for payout.
If "payout" is the most important part of your contribution than have at it.
Oh hey just randomly browsing posts and saw this comment, didn't actually know it was a faux-pas to upvote your own work or that there was a minimum for pay-out. Thanks for the info good sir!
There is a scale.
There are purists that only vote for other's content.
Then there are the majority who vote for their own blogs, but not their own comments.
Then there are the hated, who vote for only their own comments on unvisited posts just to get the rewards and offer nothing to the platform.
There are lots of posts discussing this.
