I've always made it a point to not upvote myself, as my whole reason for coming to the platform was to build an audience for my writing, so when Steemauto started voting for my posts, because I'm on the curation trail I have it upvoting, I've been carefully removing the upvotes.
So thanks for this post, which has given me a new perspective, and made me see that I'm not just being a tad anal, but telling the universe that in essence I don't value my own work.
I probably won't start actively upvoting my own posts any time soon, with the exception of those specifically for charity, but from here on out I'll allow those autovotes to stand.
That is a great approach and I am sure no one will loose respect for you in doing that. I am glad I have opened your mind about this topic, and I am surprised that you were the only one that commented that previously did not self vote at all. Props my friend, I applaud your efforts, and also your willingness to change for the better using new wisdom. Blessings!
Blessings to you as well! I found this a very interesting post, and yeah, I'm a lifelong learner, and always up for learning new things! ;-)
Thank you! I always live by the philosophy of - "always the student, always the teacher". We all have something we can teach each other.

I completely agree.
Our diversity is our strength, and our diversity of perspective can and will stand us all in good stead in the long run.
