RE: The rational and moral justifications for self upvoting - Why I upvote my own posts and encourage most people to do so (within reason)

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

Despite our sharing community built on interacting with others. People should focus on upvoting others more, based on whatever reasons. Like I'm all up to the fact many people avoid upvoting those who upvote themselves or if they upvote or don't upvote for any reason X.
I have made a decision, regarding the upvoting of the self scenario. Having had a good look around at the situation, and trying to see matters from every angle, I have found that the two main reasons given for upvoting yourself are, to add value to the post or to combat bots from hi-jacking it.

Sort:  

The post has value based on the interactions it's generating so I don't know if self upvoting ads value. Perhaps if you're a whale it can attract more attention to the post? On the other hand it is possible to post, get a lot of upvotes and not get much SBD rewards, which would indicate value isn't correlated necessarily with the rewards.
