RE: Self Voting - To do or not to do? - That is the Question + Video

in #steemit6 years ago

I agree with upvoting once own content with 100% and I have done that most of my Steemit time. It has helped me to grow my account and to give back more and more every day as I leave plenty of voting power for others. I think everyone should do that to redistribute wealth from top to bottom. @taskmaster4450 even had a campaign about that one day I think.

Agreed, so what is your stance on groups like @tribesteemup, @earthtribe, and @freedomtribe self-voting on 1 post/day - 1 post/week? Arguably it is almost necessary to help grow the group account SP more and grow the group as a whole instead of that one extra vote going to someone else in the group. As far as I know these three group accounts do not currently self-vote, but if they did, would it be better, worse, or neutral for their communities, and the Steemit community as a whole?

Totally justified and popular tool to grow the community account. I think @Tribesteemup should be careful because the account is a whale. A post every few days feels right there.

As long as the account delivers quality and helps to grow community it is cool to self-upvote for the entire Steem ecosystem. This wealth will benefit so many people in the long run.

Technically TSU is a dolphin that votes like a whale, but I get your meaning. TSU doen not really need to self-vote anyway due to the large deligation, so yes TSU should be more careful about this (and we are, I cannot even remember the last time the TSU account even made a post). For the smaller groups like ET and FT, it is more significant to occasionally self-vote to grow the group, although since TSU up-votes the ET and FT posts, the self-votes on those accounts still does not mean a whole lot either, although it should have a bigger impact in the future. I agree with you buddy, and thank you for the extra discourse.
