SteemLiberator Launches Steem Account Creation Service

We're cynical because we've been advertised to our entire lives. That makes us really good at noticing when somebody is being fake. Just be you, and you'll be fine.

Hmmm makes sense, the being genuine part. Okay, seems cynical is a good thing around here. :D But still, "vulnerable"?

Wait, I got confused again (that's why I upvoted my own comment there); those $0.21 from your upvote, what do they mean? Thanks a lot for it BTW!

Okay I see you have not replied --please let me rephrase! Is it fine that I upvoted my previous comment? Should I remove it? Well I'll go check those tutorials ASAP...!

It's like fishing coins out of a wishing well or eating leftovers off a stranger's table at a restaurant.
Be better than that. Be classy.
People respect classy.

I get that part... and it does make sense. But being practical --is it gonna do something bad to my rep "in reality"? I mean, upvoting my own stuff? I've read about some good-reputed authors being okay with it; you clearly are not, but...

is it gonna hurt me --or the community-- in truth?

I ask because it seems you would know, thank u for all these replies

:)

I won't downvote you for it, but I might like what you've written, decide to follow you, then notice you upvoted your own comment.
That's when I decide not to follow you.

now, does it really generate earnings --or losses-- upvoting one's own stuff?

i guess u could get a few cents out of it, no? still not really justifiable --i see it

It works. You get the money. It's just not a good long term plan.
I don't even upvote my own posts.
I'll occasionally upvote one of my own comments if I want it to hit the top of the pile, though.

Ah, "hitting the top of the pile", now I get it...

I was thinking about "making more earnings"...

So it is a practical means to the --exclusive-- end of promoting one's own comment, would you say?

Makes sense --I am right now removing upvotes from my own comments...

Now --would you say the opposite also applies?

I mean, in the same train of thought;

Upvoting replies I have received --like, all of them, as a rule of thumb--

Would you agree with that?
I guess I could think of a non-applicant situation or 2 --like flaggable replies for instance...

I upvote insightful, constructive comments on my own posts.
I like people to know that I'll thank them for the effort.

Sure, sounds very well, very spot-on... Thank people for that effort, and not so much for comments like "cool, thanks" or "nice pic, nice writing" (and even less for "F4F, L4L" :| )

The rule-of-thumb of not upvoting my own stuff also allows me to save Steem Power, right? I suppose the same to replies; if I upvote every single reply received, my SP plummets...
