RE: Still Upvoting Your Own Comments On Steemit? - Introducing The Smackdown Kitty Bot!

in #steemit7 years ago

I have never heard that before. For me it doesn't do any good to upvote my own comments because I'm still a minnow. I'm better off using it on other people's content and comments to try and connect with them. I guess I don't have a problem with people doing it though. A lot of people have time and money invested to get to a point where their upvote is powerful. I'd rather see something like being only able to upvote your own stuff 5 times a day then penalize.

I agree with @bodyinbeta. It's bad to always be upvoting your own comments... but every once in a while I think it's fine. That's one of the advantages that comes with being invested in Steem or having earned Steem Power. Getting to upvote your comment to the top so that it's seen is a perk of having a good amount of Stake in Steem.

Let me know if you disagree and why. I'd like to hear the other side of the argument.

I did it for for sometime but not doing it anymore. The website is still in beta phase so I think, a lot is going on at the backstage. Let's see how the final version looks like.

Yeah I agree that your time would be better spent building relationships and followers on the platform rather than upvoting your own comments. However, some would disagree and feel that they should be able to upvote their own comments, so perhaps the community may find a middle ground somewhere.
