You got it :)
In your case it was $6,485.92 SBD worth of upvotes, of which $295.80 (4.56%) was on yourself. That's entirely acceptable since you're a fantastic content creator, but in my opinion ideally people would stop voting on themselves entirely.
P.S.: may i ask how you found this post? Did you get a notification that you were mentioned in a post (even though i didn't include @ on purpose)?
no i don't get notifications anymore.....
I am a surfer here on steemit, and I followed a bunch of random things.....I have no idea actually.
There's a ton of informative stuff, that is hiding in steemit...
There's also a lotttttt of spam btw ;)
People think they will make money right away without realizing how "bad" their content is.
no, I found your other post in the "HoT" section, which led me to this.
Ah ok, so unless a lot of money comes in in a short period, content remains undiscovered on SteemIt, that's lovely haha
I think there is one thing that is missing here from the conversation....people are free to buy their way in, and then upvote their own posts for visibility. I think the creators of the platform would not oppose that. What I see in your info though, is the prevalance of users who are not spreading out their upvotes! That is a bit disconcerting.
Yup as long as it isn't abusive, it OK. Even though we're all guilty of selfishness from time to time, it can always be improved :)
Greed is a human foible that will never be eradicated. A "war on greed" would be as effective as a "war on drugs".
You can't fix 100% of the people, if by fix the definition is make them fit into the mold you deem is OK.
Nothing we can do about human greed, except point it out when we see it.
Behavior may or may not change if people know they will be outed.
Yes, it is changing that balance that, I feel, is urgently required.
