Consensus on self votes

I see it as investing in my effort and a little return on the investment of my own money, which has shrunk dramatically over the last year.

I hear that, what was the price when you invested ?

I got in at a few different prices but the most I paid was $3.50 per steem, that is a distant memory.

Dear @bitcoinman

Personally I prefer to use my upvote to reward someone else and build my influence. Upvoting my own content additionaly would most likely attract wrong-kind-attention. So it's best to avoid it (especially if your account carry larger amount of SP).

Upvote on the way :)
Yours, Piotr

Hi @bitcoinman

Few days ago I've shared your post with some friends and I've noticed that you received few solid comments :)

Look, I I've noticed that you've been posting sometimes about crypto, blcokchain and technology. I love those topics as well.

If you would ever publish anything related to technology, economy, marketing, psychology or steemit etc - then send me link in memo. I'm trying to support quality content and I have 2-3 upvotes daily to spare from @project.hope (over 200k SP) i my own account. I will gladly support your publications (as long as they represent solid quality :)

Yours, Piotr

knock knock @bitcoinman :)

would you mind if I take few minutes of your time? (I hope I'm not asking this question to often ;)

Anyway .... together with few core members of project.hope team - we'te trying to promote our recent publication: an article explaining economy behind our non-profit community project build on STEEM blockchain.

Perhaps I could ask you to spare few minutes and check it out and share your feedback with me.

I would absolutely appreciate it a lot. I read all comments and I drop solid upvote on each valuable one.

Yours, Piotr

Hello @bitcoinman,

in short... I don't like self upvotes but I understand if some still do it.

Some, especially large accounts, can be seen doing it over and over still.

They've got a lot at stake with their SP and from this standpoint I can understand if someone does it.

On the other hand it's a little like padding yourself on the own shoulder somehow, isn't it?

So, I don't do it. But again, I'm in SBI and @project.hope, both projects to help their members to get recognition and upvotes. You see I have a really hard time to clearly identify "bad behavior" other than dispensing downvotes from anon accounts. 🤷‍♂️

Cheers!
Lucky

i vote my own post, but it's worth less than voting on other people's post, so i think that part has been taken care of

I think it's not a big problem as it's a feature of steemit but I think the whales and other big steem players don't like it and may not upvote

Hi @bitcoinman

Good point friend. However, I must admit that I particularly vote for my publications when I remember to do many of them I forget, it is possible because I really forgot to do it, a long time ago I had the vote automatically.
But I preferred to remove it in order to help other countrymen who need to grow.

But I can tell you that I respect whoever does it.

Yours.

Hello, @bitcoinman

My upvote doesn't have much power, but I guess it's just as well appreciated.

I think I heard that the self-upvote was more important now with the new HF. However, if everyone voted for themselves and not others, I guess this platform would have withered long ago. I think the most important thing about upvoting is appreciating the content of others. It is a way of understanding that you are on the right track.

It's my opinion.

Thanks for sharing! 😊

Nothing wrong with self votes if it's not overdone. Regarding the monetary aspect, right now well, only the few top accounts are just taking almost everything, telling everyone else that they should "not be in it for the money". I would think this is a pretty bad direction for Steem. Maybe Justin Sun will be able to save it.

You have a solid point and no it might not be right to reward yourself.. Especially when you can give yourself $40 plus upvotes... But the size should not matter... I do still upvote myself too... But the thin is I use an automatic curator which follows all of the big curators.. So whenever they curate someone I automatically also curate them.. And sometimes I get curated by one and I do automatically upvote myself.
