RE: The high hidden cost of self upvotes

in #philosophy7 years ago

Thanks you saved me the time of spelling it out, I was just browsing to see if someone else was going to hit on it before I would. I stopped upvoting my own comments despite someone who keeps encouraging me to do it. I find myself conflicted on the issue. When you spend hours writing something and it gets completely ignored it's not hard for people to figure out an alternative way to make a few cents for their effort. The person encouraging said it's not the small timers that people get mad at it's those at the top taking advantage and it's pretty hard to tell someone not to do something when the one's at the top aren't setting a good example. Excellent rebuttal, thanks.
