And when you show you care about the community sometimes you get a vote and a resteem.
I've decided I will not be following people that up vote themselves, it is good to see you share this advice.
EDIT: Actually people voting for their own post when they SUBMIT it I am okay with. It is when they up vote their own comments that I see a problem forming.
EDIT 2: I don't think most people even notice that check box for auto-vote since it is checked by default. Interesting experiment. I do see that you use @randowhale on your own posts, so technically you kind of are still voting on your own posts. You just are paying @randowhale for kind a random gamble vote. You also don't do it on all of your posts. Have you checked to see if the payout you are getting from that 2.00 SBD actually gets you at least 2.00 SBD in return? I haven't been doing the math so I don't know if it does or not. I did send a few votes to other people via @randowhale.
Have to agree with Dwinblood on this one, I find people who send randowhale or minnowsupport their own way to be more egregious then someone with a good comment who up votes it just to get it seen. If I appreciate a comment I'll send it farther up the line. (Full disclosure, I minnow supported myself the first time to see how it worked)
Edit add: I also upvote my own posts automatically, so do whales. Think your looking for problems when there are bigger fish in the sea 🐬🐳🐋
To be honest I think the message was misinterpeted, I was overly dramatizing the subject to make a point, of course everyone can do whatever they please. I use randowhale as a tool, explanation tight below in other reply to this comment.
I think randowhale and minnowsupport are useful tools to grow but we should (not can or must) with restrictions...
I´ve seen so too, maybe my vote is not worth much but I think it´s worth more for a newbie than for me...
The auto-vote box is tricky, I didn´t see it until I was like one month in hehe.
Yes! I sometimes do that, randowhale is a useful tool but we should use it with some restrictions (The line we draw it ourselves). It is my way of not wasting my SP and spending SBD , that way I still have SP to share the love. It is actually pretty much the same, the reward is like 2 SBD and 1 SP if you get a 3-4% vote so you are pretty much even, but you have apost that is not worth 2, is worth 6 hehe
