I followed at first. I upvoted some too, both in dolphinschool and markrmorrisjr along with some followers. maybe you got half a point from my upvote.
However, it does seem one-sided when you look at the user histories. Both accounts will upvote each other and very little from both account voting wise will go back to support a new user. At the same time, other's are criticised for upvoting their own comment from the same person.

I agree, that a lot of time is put into the work done. I do not think we should take everything a user may say at face value.
I am here to benefit if I can over time, and a reward of $90 for a post I made would be wonderful to me. a reward of $1 would be great too.

I looked at the histories of both accounts, over 20 days there had been 3 upvotes to others and the rest were upvotes to own accounts. Also the misuse of accounts owned by two others as stated in a reply by the user themselves. Using a relatives account to upvote your own posts can be classed as theft of opinion if not identity. If actions like this are acceptable. At what point does one person using the vote of another become wrong. Is it only when harm happens or is noticed?
I am not against Mark, I have my opinions and my own set of moral and ethical values. While I still upvote my own posts and comments. I share as much with other user's. Some I will give more votes to then I receive from as their vote is stronger than my own. On my own morals, I cannot support and promote this line of helping others.
But on the plus side, You got another follower.
