RE: The harm from abusive self-voting is self-limited: A stakeholder perspective
I'm new to this entire operation and noticed while posting a couple of days ago that there's a checkbox for automatic voting. I clicked on it, and notice that lately this has caused me to "automatically" vote for my own posts. I assume that such a thing enables more people to have their attention drawn to the various pieces of music I've been posting, rather than adds any value to the post itself. But as I still don't really know what I'm doing, I could simply be mistaken. I notice my name being taken (hopefully not in vain) above, so I wanted to say simply that if it's not considered kosher to do it I will stop, but if people think there's no harm in it, I won't.
There are different opinions, because there are some people who abuse it. My own opinion is that if we honestly think that our content is good enough to deserve an upvote, then there's nothing wrong with voting for it.
