@gratefulforitall + @hazelpazel - I'm struggling with this one. I have a preconceived notion that upvoting your own posts is not admirable - you're not contributing to the quality, diversity, and universal curation of the platform by upvoting yourself. I can't judge someone who does, but what this does for me is make me wonder what else is the benefit for having a high vote value? Here's what I've found:
You can curate great posts, boost other Steemians, and generally invest in the platform in a bigger way. The outcome is basically a better, more mature Steemit.
Your reputation tends to follow your wallet growth (until you plateau where the only thing that boosts your reputation is actually that: the engagement of others), and with a higher reputation, you gain more respect, more followers, and potentially more engagement on your posts overall. This leads to higher earnings per post.
You can join groups and communities that make Steemit better, more inclusive, better quality, etc because you have more power.
How does Superman personally benefit from having superpowers? Good feels and good friends.
Hmm. It seems like a big cycle that always starts with producing good content. I've been asking because I am considering purchasing some steem and was curious about what that would do for me. I wasn't satisfied with the technical answers (solves some bandwidth issues, etc) so I was looking for more.

That's all this beginner has come up with so far!
