How much do you self-vote and why?


Self-voting is nothing to be ashamed of. Of course, if it is in reasonable and non-abusive amounts. Let's discuss self-voting and your motivations to why you self-vote.

Answer the poll and provide further clarification to what your exact % of self-votes in the last 30 days as seen on SteemReports


  • 0-5%

  • 5-10%

  • 10-30%

  • 30-50%

  • 50-70%

  • 70-90%

I believe that I did not cast my own votes

That is true! You have no self-votes in the last 30 days. That's awesome!

You are a very rare case on here. A true gem amongst a sea of pebbels.

For that reason you deserve a reward.

Congratz @suntree! I sent a little boost your way :D

Thanks runicar, that's very nice of you :D

0% self-upvotes for the last 30 days and for the last 9 months.
The last time I upvoted one of my own posts was on 2018.03.20, which was approximately 9 months ago.
I intentionally stopped self-upvoting and I am not planning to do any self-upvotes on any of my posts in the future, so I probably will not do any self-upvotes in the future.

That's freakin' awesome @xplosive! Keep threading that path of greatness!

I do not get early votes on my posts. Waiting until the 13th before seeing an amount on my post is sometimes frustrating but I still I only vote on posts that I love and put in much efforts in writing.

Also, I always try to cap self-vote at 5% and will kick myself whenever I noticed it's over 5%. I do not like self-voting and I am not against anyone doing so. This is a habit I plan to stop when I start getting some early votes.

Keeping them under 5% is great @akomoajong!

I think so too, thank you!

I make a conscious effort not to self vote
Not always easy sometimes when you put in so much effort into a post and see some sad numbers and I feel like I need to give it some love .... but I can say the 2nd half of this year I hardly and in the last month probably not at all.
So I went with the 0-5%
I have never voted my own comment though...

Would like to hear your thoughts on it....

That's awesome! I respect more those who self-vote less and really dislike those who do it in the abusive spectrum.

The less we can self-vote our content, the more we can give out and the higher the chances of someone else upvoting us back, I guess.

I mean, if we all upvoted each other, we would probably end up with much more than we would get for self-voting.

Dunno though but, I'm always geared towards curating others rather than myself.

As for upvoting comments, I don't see anything bad in it. Again, if it's not just a placeholder for that vote but to rank higher in the comment section, then I see no evil in it.

That's why I upvote some of my comments. Sometimes you just want to be high up in the comment section for that much needed exposure.

3.4 %. Not too bad in my own opinion. I do vote on all my own blog posts tough, but rarely comments (only if I really want them to get higher up on a certain post for whatever reason).

True, that is pretty low on the self-votes, GJ! Especially when compared to how much others self-vote.

  1. I selfvote as much as i can.
  2. Why? Because no one else will. 😂😂😂

lol you aren't that bad! checked you out 6.4% is quite low tbh

At least you are honest hahha

I know the feeling, even after being here for over a year and a half I sometimes feel that way but I still manage to keep my self-votes very low

I bot almost everything. I have 7 cents organic. The rest are bots. If you take that into account compared to my 3 cent vote id say i self vote at least 80-90%

I wouldn't count bots as self-votes and I completely understand why you use them. I did the same before but, stopped as downtrends were eating up a lot of what I invested so I ended up losing way too much than I could afford to.

Yeah. When sbd is printed you lose often.. But now with steem/sp its always a positive ROI as long as the reward pool is relatively stable.

I mean its not something i want to do, but when you write stuff like i do, critize behavior i dont like people get pissed off so you cant expect much votes.

If i went the easy route id get more votes and wouldnt bot, but that aint fun, is it. Haha.

10-30%. = 17,6% according to @steemreports.
1 get a bit more visibility
2 get more SP to be able to give higher upvotes to others
3 because time and effort put in, "should" be rewarded

That's not too bad and the reasons you gave are very reasonable!

Well I was too amazed on lookin that my self vote percentage was that low.. It was 4.5% in the last 30 days..

Voted for 5-10%.

I vote for my own posts because they deserve it. It is my time spent on them, and the reward is anyway ridiculous compared to the efforts.

Good answer! I'm ok with anything under 30%.

Over 50% I consider borderline abuse.

60%+ flag that sucker

LOL!

Voted for 30-50%.

Self-voting is nothing to be ashamed of.
No, but maybe it goes against the original idea of "rewarding valuable content with upvotes". I'm not proud of it but... I could write a whole post about it. I think I will.

You definitely should make a post on that! Tag me in it if you do so that I can more easily find it.

Seems about right

Anything under 30% is ok, imo

25.45 % self-vote
It is because I am keeping a goal of saving funds for my medical needs. Nobody is helping much from my family and relatives. @runicar

And that 0.4% is due of the curation trails that I follow and sometimes get upvoted by the teams that I'm following :)
