RE: "Upvoting Your Own Comments" Option Should Be Disabled.

in #steemit8 years ago

Sometimes I like to upvote my comments - but just for a few cents, as then my comment moves up the list.. If it happens to be a whale i am commenting on, this could result in quite a bit of extra exposure.

Also, most of my comments that I upvote in this way are not simply one sentence, or just a meme.. I do attempt to engage the original poster, and maybe I have a question I am hoping to get answered..

Ah ok
This sounds reasonable to an extent. :)

Just that some people are totally misusing this feature :)

Yes, it certainly is being abused. I came across a "self-upvoted" comment on another thread where the commenter had given himself just over $100.. For a comment? Wow!

I also keep hearing that views and upvotes as a whole are down. (I have not noticed myself though). Could this also be the result of"self-voting"?

Self-voting and less voting.

I am voting less too..for I am yet to get my voting power slider.
