RE: I reached 1000 followers today and 3 very important lessons for newbies
First, congrats on your milestone!
Your lessons seem great for newer users, to help them understand the level of personability that I believe, is ideal for creating a more human experience on this type of platform. I like to think that I have a similar approach and hope it proves succesful, not only for me, but more importantly in the sense that its enjoyable to whoever is interested in and willing to interact with me.
Now for a question related to the following excerpt from your post:
Lesson no. 3.2. "never....vote on your own comment."
I'm curious to hear why you think that voting on your own comment should never be done?
Unfortunately, there are people who write a comment like: "nice comment keep posting", and then vote on themselves. There are also people, even whales, who have two or more blogs and write comments on their own posts and earn a lot of money. Steemit generally does not like to vote for yourself, especially on your own comments. I think almost everybody, including myself, votes on themselves on a post. But on a comment is 'not done'. It is not forbidden, it is not neat. So when you will have a good reputation on Steemit never vote on your own comment.
Ok that makes sense now. I see how and agree that once someone gets to a higher reputation level self voting on comments would be counterproductive. Thanks for the enlightenment, as I wasn’t looking at it from your perspective (a user with much higher influence and reputation level)!
Also a sincere thank you for the response and the time you spent to write it.
Cheers!
Of course, I give you a sincere answer. You asked a sincere question and when somebody takes the time to write a sincere comment I think it is only respectful to give a sincere answer. (this is four times 'sincere', but I think you know what I mean!
I do understand : ) Dank je wel !
Graag gedaan!
