Bro, can't even finishing reading this w/o confessing this is me ur talking about. I feel like a jerk now that you put it the way you did but you're right.
Most of my self-votes are to get my comment in the right place bc generally on the web people don't scroll that much.
Your point is well-taken. If I slow dowm and use Steemit to promote the good instead of my own Ego and fear, we'll all be better off.
I think you deserve a pat on the back for owning your behavior like this. It takes a lot of courage to self evaluate and decide to change something you're used to.
I noticed you called yourself a "jerk" but I don't think you should lay any judgments against yourself, it's been popularized and promoted to do just that and at least you're seeing the other side to it and deciding to spread your love yourself :)
Steemit is a great community full of love and encouragement, this post is an a perfect example of that. Kudos to you friend for your insight!
XO
thank you for your kind words I'll take everything you said to ❤️
I think as long money is involved we always will have people who are here only to earn it.
I did the same... Upvote my own comments to change the order. Like many people here already said, I think it is okay for minnows. And of course you shouldn't vote somehing banal like "cool post, bro!"
On Steemit I think more about what I write because I want to earn my own upvote.
You deserved an Upvote Mr @writewords.
Lots of kindness coming my way... i'm really glad this new perspective is clear to me.
I like you're honest reflection upon the matter, gave you a 100% upvote for that. Thanks for the feedback :)
Bro, just seeing this comment. Funny how life / Steemit works. When you don't try to make money is when you typically make it -- Thank you so much for the full-power upvote!
You are setting a perfect example of taking opinions in a positive way and making the change @writewords. Upvoted your reply :).
Thank you @milsol.
Don't feel like a jerk though. Don't just upvote everything you do. Upvote some of your own stuff sometimes, but try to make an effort to upvote others. I just gave you a 100% upvote for like a dollar for your honesty.
If you need to make your comment stand out there isn't anything wrong with upvoting that if the comment is well thought out or a good response to the topic. If you are upvoting spam and low effort comments try to work on that and make your comments better.
You actually get a decent amount of followers if you write out a good comment with some length. People like to read stuff. I go on reddit and for hours just read what others typed and i usually don't even contribute, but here I do because I am building a following at the same time :)
Thank you so much for your big ole upvote -- totallu agree with everything you said. Basically deliver value or don't post. Something to that effect. Even a compliment can lift the spirits... 🙏🏻🙌🏻
