Well I'm new here so I don't know whats scammy or whats not. Seems to me everyone here is just doing whatever to make money like using bots .
What makes up voting your own reply's scammy? Steemit allows it. Also, if you have no Steempower like me wouldn't that be a good way to get people to see you? In my circumstance up voting my own reply raises my thoughtful reply above all the bullshit bot and thoughtless reply's.
Seems to me people with SteemPower like you are trying to impose your beliefs and make them "law" by flagging and comments like this and its hurting the lower class because we are afraid of doing things that might help us in fear of you writing negative comments or flagging our posts.
Why do you care what others do? They are just taking advantage of what has been given to them to take advantage of. If anything complain to SteemIt not the users. This reminds me of SEO, people take advantage of the algorithm to rank higher in the search results.
Making fun of someone's job because they took time to answer you, says more about you than me.
That guy's replies are not thoughtful.
Others would flag you for your behaviour in this last reply, I will not bother.
Taking advantage is something you said a couple times, think on those words.
