Nice post but I don't agree with the self vote part.
If you upvote yourself within the first 15 minutes then all the curation goes to yourself which leaves your upvoters with nothing.
I have tried both ways.
If I don't vote my post on the first few minutes, it's as if my post has the plague or something, cause no one notices it...
When I vote my post, at least a few people take an interest in it... And my posts do get somewhere.
There is a reason for this. After your post is published the optimum time for someone to upvote you is after 30 minutes so don't panic . Must upvoters with high steem power check to see if you upvote yourself . When they see that you have they say there is no point voting you so it's a vicious circle. In the curation and engagement weekly contest you get docked points for upvoting yourself. It's a massive no no with a lot of people. But its entirely your choice
I don't get that logic. So, you're telling me that someone with 5000 SP won't vote on a newbie's post, because he's going to lose the curation rewards from a vote worth $0.01, $0.03 or even $0.05? They are skipping voting... because they will not receive 0.001 SP to 0.005 SP in curation !?
This seems too strange... and illogical. What am I not understanding?
You are not understanding the principal. It’s not them that you are denying. It’s everyone , it’s the community, the other 10 SPs who upvoted your post. They find that you are not growing the platform and only growing yourself.

Oh. If that's the issue, I won't even bother myself about it. My stats speak for themselves:
