RE: Two proposed HF policy change for countering reward based abuses.

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

If I invest my money in Steemit do I not have a right to gain a return by freely upvoting posts and comments I like, including my own? Let's not take away all the incentives for people invest in Steem and Steemit. That being said, if my posts were earning more I would be much less inclined to upvote my own comments.

I agree 100%

Me too!

For whales or famous authors like @papa-pepper it doesn't change much if they vote on themself. Upvoting your own post and comments is always a subjective perspective. I invested +10000$ and expecting a ROI of daily 5-10$ seems fair in my eyes. If I get enough upvotes from others then I selfvote less.
It is 0.1% ROI daily. @jerrybanfield on the other hand reaches easily 0.5% ROI. Selfvoting doesnt really add anything

You do have that right. Vests are fungible. If they are changed then steem is no longer steem.

At this point in time your steem - not steemit - is only going to be worth less and less because not only is the reward being self-appropriated by shortsighted opportunist and bots, they are spamming with so much useless comments that the whole place is about to look like a confusing dump. If your comment is of any relevance you will be able to use your voting power to move it near the top and earn reward from additional upvotes thanks to the extra exposure your SP entitled you to.

Well, prove me wrong @transisto. Go to my latest post and upvote it to the tune of a couple hundred dollars and I will stop upvoting my own comments for a while.
