Self-upvoting is evidence of ego, greed, and pride as a being.

@thegreens 2021

What if Justin Sun and co-built the network and focused on upvoting only themselves? We wouldn’t be here if they did that and Steemit will never have been known by any except them.
Self-upvote is bad social behavior and not encouraged on Steemit. First, it defeats the community purpose which is socialization and then proves how egoistic, greedy, and proud the self-upvoter is.
Steemit is meant to promote socialization and support novelty in its reward based-system hence. The real value of money is in numbers: when numbers embrace and accept Steem its value will skyrocket and the most effective way to bring in the numbers we need to push Steem to the top is by rewarding others and not-self.

Stop self-upvoting

That's a fact! I read about that during one of my achievements talking on curation. And after reading the explanation, i decided not to upvote myself anymore. It disrupts the equilibrium in the ecosystem

Thanks so much for sir... Some of these things people do without knowing and for some they know without sharing Which is another form of greed , too many focus on money and forget about the sociality on steem, I have many friends because of steem. For example I was voting my self too but when I asked and understood what voting is, I was not doing that. I have decided that I can't do anything in steem when I have not understood and I will always ask questions to anyone I see can help me. Special thanks to @fombae, @saxopedia, @chiabertrand, @majerius and you @thegreens for the help given to us. I will also wish if seminars are organised on the various aspects in steem.

I used to vote myself ignorantly until I realized it effect when I joined crypto academy and learn its disadvantages. Thanks for sharing @thegreens

Happy you learned and hope you're generously distributing the upvotes

My CSI can testify Boss

This is perfectly correct. I remember back in the days where one will post a picture on Facebook and rush to hit the like button.

Self-upvoting is evidence of ego, greed, and pride as a being.

Apart from these , I think it also go a long way to proof that,the author lacks self confidence and does not believe in his work. Thanks for educating and sharing this.

I like the idea of lack of self-confidence. Great input there. Let's keep spreading the upvotes

Thank you for this formidable advise

Sometime I ask myself ”why should you do that if you are not just wicked ?”
A good content writer wouldn’t mindanything even if the community he/she is posting at, has a bad management system. Steemit is about good content and consistency not the rush for money first even though most of us came for the money.
Self upvote is a bad thing to me and commenting without voting is even worse provided you have the eligibility. Sometimes I go to read a post and I meet up to five comments but just one upvote which is mine cuz I even upvoted the person’s post before commenting after I had read through.
Let’s be responsible steemians and build each other and the Steemit ecosystem for we are only stronger together.

The issue of commenting and resteeming without upvoting is something we really need to stand against in our community. We will have a talk about this in the days ahead. Thanks for raising it up.

Great idea and it was because of this loophole I noticed that made me to write in the Whatsapp group about doing our own curation trail for the community account. We are waiting for the community management team strategy on this boss, thanks for looking it up.

Thank you so much for this
I have learned sense now

You're welcome and remember that every upvote no matter how small counts!

Thank you for the detailed explanation boss @thegreens. This will help a lot of users stop carrying out such practices. Some are ignorant like I did few times when I joined the platform and votes were not coming but stopped on my own without someone enlightening me about what it means to self vote. Some are aware but still continue to do it. Hopefully they will stop doing it.

Thank you for the eye opening

Gracias! Let's keep spreading the upvotes

It's actually funny and weird for someone to upvote his or her own self. That makes no sense, Instead of voting and or commenting on others post to encourage and keep the steemit platform alive. Thanks for the excellent and informing write up @thegreens.

You're welcome

Quite a good point you looked at sir @thegreens
This is a bad attitude and when you look at it critically ,most people who do self upvoting hardly vote on other people’s post.
Steemit can’t grow with this pace.
Thanks for looking into this matter.
