I don't use them. I do occasionally use tipu when my voting power is crap. The rest...I don't care for. Though this post broke them down nicely for me and actually know more now...at the end they are just used to boost yourself. Since I never even upvoted my content I doubt I will ever use them (time will tell).
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Very honorable of you not to use them. I use them on each post, and daily on others posts :)
If you feel you have taken the time and effort on your own content, I don't think it's a bad thing to up-vote it.
You are a very honorable Steemian @atopy!
I get it. I do. I don't point fingers at people who self-upvote or boost. I just can't do it. It feels a bit....icky. Like posting on FB and giving yourself a like. Blah. While on some level it does state - I like my own content ...on some other level it also says I'm desperate. Since I'm not either....I don't do it. :D
So basically my brain gets it and it makes total sense but I let "feelings" rule out on that one. So nothing honorable there. :)
Some of your posts/drawings/artwork must have taken you hours - I think they are worthy of a personal max vote. If I was producing rubbish with little effort, I wouldn't feel right self up-voting.
I'm sure you will reach the stars in time :D
I like doing this :)
yeah....but you are obviously rewarding others ...i have no issues with that. That's great....but think self-boosting is still in the gray zone and you have to admit there is quite a lot who only use this for themselves. Actually following @holoz0r and his reports he drops by time to time...randowhale for example...
It is a touchy subject. My votes are worth cents. Now imagine my upvote was actually worth something. Would you still mind if I upvoted my post for 100$? :D Wouldn't you rather see I gave that to someone else?
And ty for the boost! Just seen it. :)
My pleasure ! :D
