Being able to comprehend is all that's needed to reprogram my mind.
Trying to prove, disprove, or ask questions about reality is me setting limitations for my self, life is more fun just being free.

I've notice that since the hf19, a lot o people have slowed down on the upvoting. And I guess. I understand it. But I have also noticed that mostly minnows are up voting a lot. And that's great. I don't know, what are your thoughts on that?

people slowed down in order to build up voting power so they can then upvote their own comments @ full power and get the best rewards...lol HF19!!!

@sash-pacino since HF19 I personally have not been upvoting as much because I turned off any voting bots I was using. Now Im only voting manually. Which decreases how many times I'm voting.
This change has also made me interact more with the community because now I'm actually reading everything I vote on and if its worth voting for then I will also comment 99% of the time.

Yes exactly. I now have to review everything before voting and I have not found a less time consuming way than reading every post.

Minnows like me vote a lot ... because nothing happens ... we can still see it as a 'like', as it should be. The whole monetary thing could eventually bring this thing down.

This is a brilliant strategy @craig-grant I been doing something like this with great results in the form of followers and interactions.
I was 1st focusing on making blog post but I find I get better result's from commenting on already great post's. I dont always upvote my own comments and if I do I equally upvote the post and comments.
thank you for sharing this info.

I think posting comments is good, but don't link to your other posts or say "please check out my posts" in the comment.
For me, that's when it crosses the line into spam. It feels less like a "comment" and more like an "advertisement." But when a comment is just good and NOT self-advertising - those are the people who I actually click on and might follow. Of course everybody has their own opinion, that's just my two cents.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I think usually it can cross the line into the spam. However, it might be ok if your self-promoted post is super relevant to the topic on hand. For example, if you're commenting on post about why rewards are declining post HF19 and you have a post on the how fast the rewards pool is declining, it might be acceptable to mention your post in the comment.

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yes, that's very true though I think there is a consensus about certain things like for example it's usually bad to use the introduceyourself tag in a post other than for your first introduction post. There's a lot of new Steemit users who have gotten in trouble for using that tag to boost their views on all their posts.

@craig-grant, good thoughts, as always.
For me, a core part for consideration is "value." I'm not against self-promotion per se, but I prefer to think that I am adding VALUE... and I realize that is pretty subjective. I don't dig the random spamming of "please read and upvote my post" that has become more and more prominent. On the other hand, comments that actually show that someone read (or watched, as the case maybe) the content followed by a contextual comment with a link... that's a different thing.
Why do I care? Time horizon. Purely trolling for short term gains tend to kill long term viability. Think of "value" as a barrel of clean fresh drinking water. Add a few drops of muddy pond water (spammy self promotion) and it doesn't really make a difference. Add some more, and it's still probably OK. And "OK" means that people coming by (aka "potential new Steemians") will look at the barrel and think "Yeah, there's drinking water here!" and join. However, if you just keep adding dirty pondwater, eventually the new people are going to look at the barrel and think "gross! I want no part of that!" and then we have a problem. Stagnation... which tends to lead to a slow demise.
But that's a time horizon issue. Are you/we here to make short term gains, or are we here to nurture and grow a place where we can still make gains 5, 8. 10 years from now?
Not saying one is "right" or "wrong," just throwing it out there for general consideration.

All those numbers of fakebook, instagramm, and reddit shows that more people on steemit needs to tell more of those other guys about coming over to steemit. A lot of people are waking up to bitcoin and crypto but there is still a ton more that don't know about it. So it's our job to inform them about it. And it's a easy thing to do. Next time you hear someone complain about there job ask them if they are investing into bitcoin. If they don't know about bitcoin then there you go tell them all about it plus crypto coins and steemit.

Hmm, I hadn't thought about this at all. I'm not sure it is so much a hack but a way to play the system for gain! Good catch, but I bet a lot of people are going to use this now in order to try to gain traction. My hope is that people will use this wisely though. You know somebody is going to come in here write some nonsense that has nothing to do with this post or anything and try to upvote themselves to the top!

So to summarize: plug your own good-quality-hopefully-related-post using a meaningful comment. have a decent amount of SP to upvote own comment and push it to the top.. be smart when to do that.. unfortunately I don't have enough SP now so this will disappear in the plethora of comments.. but thanks for the hack!!!!

Very useful info. Thanks so much for the tip. I also noticed that by upvoting your own comment it pushes higher in the comments. I think though you are definitely correct in saying that somehow your comment and your own post promotion has to be relevant to the topic on someone else's post otherwise it will seem like spam.
