I don't really have much of an opinion about all of this stuff with steemit. My opinion changes all the time with all the stuff I read about it, much like the tide coming in and going out. In the meantime, I just keep sharing my posts and collecting whatever rewards happen to come my way. I don't upvote my comments simply because it's heavily frowned upon by so many people and I'd rather not get put in the naughty corner because of it. I do upvote my posts, simply because the system was set up that way. I usually wait until day 5 or 6 to upvote my post because that way, everyone who upvoted my post befor me get's a bit of my upvote in their curation award for the post. Just another little way of saying "thanks for upvoting my post".

What I'm saying here though @amberyooper ♥️ is, WHO is going to put you in the naughty corner? First of all, who has a right to? Secondly, what's going to happen to you? Do you think you'll lose followers? Do you think people will respect you less? I'm not asking questions with a nasty attitude, but I'm truly curious. Do you think people who vote for you will stop voting for you? Do you feel you may disappoint friends you've agreed with or made allegiances to? I'm deeply curious why being frowned upon would modify a decision you'd make — are you indifferent either way? And why do you upvote your posts last in order to give curators the maximum — do they all vote immediately to give you the maximum of their up-vote? Sincerely curious. ♥️
I think that if I was upvoting my own comments, there are people who upvote my posts that might stop upvoting my posts because some people consider upvoting your own comments to be unacceptable behavior on steemit. That seems to be the more commonly held belief on steemit. There is also the possibility that someone might down vote my comment because I upvoted my own comment.
I upvote my posts last simply because, for me, it seems to be the right thing to do. I always upvote my own posts at 100 % because why not. I value the people who upvote my posts, and that is just a little thing that I can do to thank them in a small way. Most people probably are not even aware that I do this, but that's ok too.
Wow thanks for your honest and thoughtful response. I appreciate your disclosure of your point of view. <3
you're welcome.
