Precisely! I recently started using this concept.
I used to vote myself even more than others back then shame on me and this is how reputation works. People notice that and they forge a reputation based on that!

Indeed.
It's all about participation.
Guilty of that too. The upvote post is on by default. As a newcomer to this world, I don't really understand why the option is even there. It is like me sending an email to myself first every time I'm emailing others in the To field. After reading your article, @anritco, I'm inspired to disable the automatic upvote.
Well I think it is very important to keep the first upvote by yourself. Let's just say that It's the first kick for your post to start moving by itself!
Needless to say that it also means that you accept and like your own product =)
Yes, I understand this better now, @anritco. Reverted. Thanks for helping me form an educated opinion. :)
