Do you think it is okay for a user to upvote their own posts?

---

• Some would say that every user has brought value to Hive by investing in Hive Power (and HIVE and HBD), and therefore deserves to upvote their own posts to get a share of the rewards pool.
• Some would say that Hive is a democracy, and everyone is free to choose what to do with their account for as long as they don't intentionally cause harm to other people.
• Some would say that users who upvote their own posts are selfish, because they want to allocate the rewards for themselves, instead of waiting for upvotes for good posts.
• Some might have other opinions regarding this matter that does not exclusively belong to one of the three choices above.

• Yes, because they have brought value to Hive by investing in Hive Power

I think it's kind of shitty if someone upvotes every single thing they post or comment...but sometimes, if I recieve a vote from someone that is going to go to waste (<.02) i may upvote to recieve payment.

You may use the @dustsweeper service for that.   :)

They say, the blockchain code is law. Well, the code does not forbid self voting. So why should I mind anyone doing it?
