Occasionally up-voting your own well-thought-out and important comment to get it noticed is a reasonable action -- I myself have done that a couple of times on posts with far too many comments to be heard otherwise. Upvoting awesome comments by others is a public service.
You can have any number of upvotes by using the slider. Setting it to 25% makes it like HF19 never happened.
WE need to figure out how to prevent this community from becoming the 1% . . . . but a lot of people are trying.
You can only switch to less power when you get to 500 steem power. I see alot whales or other higher power users only upvoting them selves 100% and maybe leaving 1 or 2 @ much lower for comments and one whale will only up vote his comments if they have upvoted there own comment. this is the crap that is gonne drain the reward pool and ruin this for e everyone.
There is a lot great content out there that gets no upvote or resteem cause peeople just spend all there power or shity ass comments.
so i am all for the getting rid people abusing it and i must say i might have at one point but always upvoted post i felt worth it. But can't get rid of it.
so anything i can do to help i will
