RE: Steemit Has an Entitlement Problem
Haha. The question is, did you upvote your comment and not the post? If you don’t upvote your comment as well as not up voting the post then I don’t see a problem. However, if you upvote your own comment without throwing at least a small upvote to the creator of the post then it can be a bit douchy in my opinion. But, I have been guilty of that, so I do make a conscious effort to support the conversation starter as well as my comments. Just my thoughts :-)
Just an image comment I think is what can cause annoyance. Because it gives an impression of a bot that doesn't care. I think with a few lines of text then an image and it wouldn't have been an issue. That extra care is what cause people to relax. Because it makes people feel not appreciated when it's just an image post. It looks more like self promotion.
It's not a black and white issue I see both sides on this platform. What you have to do with beginners is to guide them into showing them that it works when you pay attention and provide real value. If you set an example of giving 10X in value to someone then you will get the same back. Or at least you will get 1X back most of the time.
Good point, I am pretty new here, too and upvoted some of my OneNote posts and comments initially since I did not know better. It felt better to at least be satisfied with myself. I am not doing this any more since I am also getting to the point. I earn far more with my own business than I will ever be rewarded here. It just feels good once you get an upvote at all. Steem-on!
