while i agree, to a degree... upvoting one's own comments is akin to masturbating into a sock for one's own self gratification.... not all members are created equally, nor do all members follow the nature of this quote: "When you join a mutual aid society by helping to support their members you join a community of people who will have your back when you need it the most. It is through mutual sharing of life’s unexpected and undeserved burdens that members of a society gain peace of mind.". with that said i can honestly see where a minnow, such as myself, would upvote their own comments. There are not nearly enough members who upvote others content as it is. Getting upvotes are crucial for a minnow to grow, and recieve an equitable reward for their upvotes. As a minnow i upvote my fairshare of content...yet my own content, some of which are pretty good content wise, get less than 5 upvotes, from fellow steemians and usually earn less than 1 SBD.... not to mention that with the increased ammount of content comming out due to HF19 placing a heavier reward on content than curation.. a minnows posts sink straight to the bottom. So.... unless a more equitable solution is had i forsee more and more minnows upvoting their comments simply to nibble on any rewards to be had.... minnows are starving for some affection... #minnowlivesmatter

Actually I agree with you, so I think in the case of newcomers, low value accounts their posts are relatively unknown, how ever I think whales should support some bots such as @minnowbooster, so they could help even good content writing minnows so even they gain a good upvote power, which is beneficial for both minnows and whales.
yes, that is a good idea.... however unless the whales search down far enough for the good content it is pointless. not to mention that it really isn't in their interest to upvote the minnows beyond their limited voting power.
