I don't think there's anything wrong with self-voting posts if you think they are worth what you upvote them. But there's certainly no universal agreement on this point (and probably never will be). But what most people will agree with is that it's wrong to create a post you think is crap, then upvote it for rewards.

I agree with that last statement 100%. I post music that my friend and i make,worked hard to make, so i'ma keep upvoting my post. I think there worth it, thanks for the feed back!
Generally it's fine to upvote your own posts. Why would you post it if you think it's crap?
Generally, it's not ok to upvote your posts (COMMENTS- edited) because it drains the pool of rewards and it's very easy. I can make dot (.) comments and upvote it. It's ok to upvote coments for visiblity and it's ok to upvote whatever the heck you want if you are a minnow because there is no impact of that anyways. Go have fun and stay on Steemit! Basically, do what pleases you until you are a mature dolphin or a whale.
For money. Buy a bot vote, or self vote, and you have earned rewards.
There is a common perception that self voting is scamming.
In August 2017 the two highest paid authors on Steemit were @mindhunter, and @tamim. @mindhunter paid for all of @snowflake's upvotes, and @tamim just upvoted verses from the Koran he posted.
So, self voting, as does buying votes, associates one with scammers, in many eyes.
agree, some people are just here to make a buck a guess
Do you think that people that create posts they think are crap should flag themselves?
Well, they won't.
They commonly self vote, and purchase votes, to gain rewards, because most people won't upvote crap.
If you find your posts are undervalued by the market, then either you are a poor judge of post quality, according to the market, or the market is out of whack, or both.
Either way, when you self upvote your posts, you are associating yourself with those scammers by emulating what they do.
