Thanks for the response, i tend to agree with self voting being ok so long as the post is something you can be proud of and/or would vote if someone else created similar content.
Generally speaking it’s done in the bad acting way as a means to guarantee the best ROI available. Definitely, not a big deal for small fry like myself but I still don’t do it out of some sense of honour or something lol.
When I see it being done by people who complain about serial self voters I get a bit irked . especially on posts that are about abuse and our peculiar incentives system.
I am however not bothered by occasional casual posting, I don’t think every post needs to fit some idealistic vision of quality. It’s ok to just share something whimsical or satirical with a one liner or two at times. I’d rather see that than a forced 1000 words regurgitating generic concepts.
Am a fan of the STEM stuff and hope to keep the conspiracy stuff on the rest of the internet where it’s pervasive.
Different strokes though I suppose.

Don't get me wrong, I don't care what people post and love freedom. I just won't upvote things I disagree with. Hopefully with the changes comming up it will make it more difficult to bump trash up to the front page. Not that it shouldn't exist just that it shouldn't be the first thing people see when they come here as it is off putting to most.
