Should I upvote my own comments even if it feels like cheating?

in steemit •  8 years ago 

As I told two days ago, you can make a lot of money by posting and upvoting your own comments.

But I'm not sure this is the better thing to do, because it feels wrong.

By upvoting my comment I earn 0.02$, so 0.01 SD and 0.01 SP, but it feel wrong because even if I wrote something interesting I can make money out of this..


What do you guys think? Should I upvote my comments? And you what do you do?

I think that if you value your own work, you should be able to. And its not like there is any restrictions on it anyway?

Yeah, but from a moral perspective it seems wrong! It's like posting something, and tell the rest of the community "now i take money".

Yes i can understand the thought, but when there is money involved, most people say "fuck morals , i want cash!"

from a moral perspective people have to sell themselves... you are using your power on yourself instead of others thats all

I was JUST thinking this!

And what do you think about it? Do you upvote your own comments?

if i am not mistaken, one of steemit developers said in bitcointalk thread that upvoting own comments is good practise

there's nothing wrong with it.

using boobs pictures is not legal strategy too as for me...but they dont mind it and reach 10000 per post

It is kind of like growth hacking :D

@mrgreen I upvoted your post thank you.

You are not right about boobs :D

There is nothing bad about upvoting yourself.

nice licking :)

Auto upvote on blog post, I was talking about comments aha

My approach is to auto-upvote my own blog posts (although I'd be happy not to if that was the general consensus).

I only upvote my comments if I'm making a point that I'd like to bump up the comments list.

But ultimately everyone is entitled to do what they feel. I'm sure if others in the community felt a person was abusing it, they'd downvote (or refuse to upvote) accordingly.

If you believe it is good, upvote straight away, sometimes I upvote my stuff immediately, sometimes not.

Occasionally i don't upvote it at all... :-)

@clement II upvoted your post thank you.

It is what it is. The motivation for posting in the first place is to maximise your revenue. Would you feel guilty about picking up a penny or two from the floor?

You are right, i don't feel guilty about picking up money!

Iv'e just been upvoted!

and again
