RE: Unchecking Upvote Post + Ending Self Upvoting!
@choogirl I couldn't of said it better myself.
"I think upvoting your own posts is a personal choice that depends on where you are in the minnow-whale cycle. "
I upvote myself with the logic that it will help my post/comment get exposure. I'm still trying to find the upvote sweet spot. I been experimenting with splitting my upvotes between myself, commentators and other blog posts. I'm not sure if this is good strategy, I guess that's why it's an experiment.
I'm curious to hear from others how they are using their upvotes?
I usually only upvote my posts these days. Very rarely do I upvote my own comments unless it's to get exposure on a popular post like this one (and even then I would never do 100%). Although, if I'd just written something like "nice post" on @jerrybanfield's post I wouldn't upvote that. In this case I'd rather use my steem power to upvote other people's posts than my generic comment.
I still think generic comments have a purpose because it lets the author know you appreciate their work, but upvoting it? Yeah nah, what's the point? I see a lot of stuff on steemit I would rather upvote instead.
That's a good point @choogirl!
Do you think the author should also receive an upvote on his blog too if they upvote themselves?
I'm not sure I understand your question, sorry.
I mean if someone replies to a blog and upvotes it, should they also upvote the blog too?
Sure, if you get something out of both. The blog post and the comments are different things. There's no rules though so you can vote on what you want.
I don't upvote my comments because i would rather let the person posting see what their readers upvote. I still upvote other comments I connect with.
@choogirl Agree with you. But I don't approve upvoting your own comments.
And that is why you still only have 33.78SP 8 months after your comment. As a minnow, if you are not willing to develop an Upvoting strategy (which includes self UV's), you will forever be a minnow. I have invested my own money into this platform and I will decide if my post or comment deserves my own UV. I'm with @choogirl on this one!
Nope. That's because I was inactive. I haven't been here since 5 months. Anyway self upvoting is not prohibited and you can do it if you want. ;)
I see... well, you will never earn anything unless you get involved one way or another. Welcome back!
