and is it bad to upvote your self? 100%

Upvoting yourself is not "bad". It simply depends of your point of view. Regarding your huge investment in steem power everybody should have appreciation of voting yourself. It is quite normal that investors have an eye on their profit.
As you are very new here I can tell you that some guys sell their votes fr steem dollars (SBD). Even this is allowed by the existing rules.
I consider myself more as an author and a curator. So I never vote my own contributions.
Greetings from Munich, Germany.

Welcome to Steem. Thanks for your investment in the community. Many frown on self voting small comments like that and it's often acceptable to upvote your posts. I'm glad you've had a good experience on the platform to merit a large investment. Lemme know if there's more ways you'd like to get involved. I'm usually around at minnowpond.org.
